Nahum 2:10-12

Contemporary English Version

¹⁰ Nineveh is doomed! Destroyed!
Her people tremble with fear;
    their faces turn pale.^[a]
11 What happened to this city?
    They were safer there
than powerful lions in a den,
    with no one to disturb them.
¹² These are the same lions
that ferociously attacked
    their victims,
then dragged away the flesh
    to feed their young.
