Nahum 2:12–13

The lion tore enough for his cubs

and strangled prey for his lionesses;

he filled his caves with prey

and his dens with torn flesh.

Behold, I am against you, declares the Lord of hosts, and I will burn your chariots in smoke, and the sword shall devour your young lions. I will cut off your prey from the earth, and the voice of your messengers shall no longer be heard.

The lion killed enough for his cubs

and strangled the prey for his mate,

filling his lairs with the kill

and his dens with the prey.

“I am against you,”

declares the Lord Almighty.

“I will burn up your chariots in smoke,

and the sword will devour your young lions.

I will leave you no prey on the earth.

The voices of your messengers

will no longer be heard.”

The lion tore up meat for his cubs

and strangled prey for his mate.

He filled his den with prey,

his caverns with his plunder.

“I am your enemy!”

says the Lord of Heaven’s Armies.

“Your chariots will soon go up in smoke.

Your young men will be killed in battle.

Never again will you plunder conquered nations.

The voices of your proud messengers will be heard no more.”

The lion tore apart enough prey for his cubs,

he strangled prey for his lioness;

he filled his lair with prey

and his den with mangled carcass.

“Look! I am against you!” declares Yahweh of hosts.

“I will burn her chariots with fire;

the sword will devour fierce lions.

I will cut off your prey from the earth;

the voice of your messengers will no longer be heard.”

The lion did tear in pieces enough for his whelps,

And strangled for his lionesses,

And filled his holes with prey,

And his dens with ravin.

Behold, I am against thee, saith the Lord of hosts,

And I will burn her chariots in the smoke,

And the sword shall devour thy young lions:

And I will cut off thy prey from the earth,

And the voice of thy messengers shall no more be heard.
