Nahum 2:10-12

Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition

¹⁰ Desolate! Desolation and ruin!
    Hearts faint and knees tremble,
anguish is on all loins,
    all faces grow pale!
¹¹ Where is the lions’ den,
    the cave^[a] of the young lions,
where the lion brought his prey,
    where his cubs were, with none to disturb?
¹² The lion tore enough for his whelps
    and strangled prey for his lionesses;
he filled his caves with prey
    and his dens with torn flesh.
