Nahum 2:10-12

New Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition

¹⁰ Devastation, desolation, and destruction!
    Hearts faint and knees tremble,
all loins quake,
    all faces grow pale!
¹¹ What became of the lions’ den,
    the cave^[a] of the young lions,
where the lion goes,
    and the lion’s cubs, with no one to disturb them?
¹² The lion has torn enough for his whelps
    and strangled prey for his lionesses;
he has filled his caves with prey
    and his dens with torn flesh.
