10 Nineveh is destroyed, deserted, desolate!Hearts melt with fear;knees tremble, strength is gone;faces grow pale.
11 Where now is the citythat was like a den of lions,the place where young lions were fed,where the lion and the lioness would goand their cubs would be safe?
12 The lion killed his preyand tore it to pieces for his mate and her cubs;he filled his den with torn flesh.
13 “I am your enemy!” says the Lord Almighty. “I will burn up your chariots. Your soldiers will be killed in war, and I will take away everything that you took from others. The demands of your envoys will no longer be heard.”
