9 Plunder silver! Plunder gold!There is no end to the supplies,an abundance of precious objects!
10 Destruction and devastation;the city is laid waste!The heart grows faint and knees buckle;there is anguish in every groin;all the faces grow pale.
11 Where is the lions’ den, the meadow of the young lions,where lion, lioness, even lion cub go about with no one to terrify them?
12 The lion has torn enough preyfor his cubs and strangled enough for his lionesses;he has filled his lairs with prey,his dens with torn flesh.
13 Look! I am against you, proclaims the Lord of heavenly forces.I will burn your chariots in smoke;the sword will devour your young lions;I will cut off your prey from the earth,the voice of your messengers will never again be heard!
