    the place where they fed their young,
where the lion and lioness went,
    and the cubs, with nothing to fear?

    and his dens with the prey.(D)

11 Where is the dwelling of the (A)lions,
And the feeding place of the young lions,
Where the lion walked, the lioness and lion’s cub,
And no one made them afraid?

[a]Killed for his lionesses,
(B)Filled his caves with prey,
And his dens with [b]flesh.
