9“Plunder the silver!
Plunder the gold!”
There is no end to the treasure,
an abundance of every precious thing.
10She is emptied!
Yes, she is desolate and laid waste!
Hearts melt, knees knock,
bodies tremble, and every face grows pale!
11Where is the lions’ lair
or the feeding ground of the young lions,
where the lion and lioness prowled with their cubs,
with nothing to frighten them away?
12The lion mauled enough for its cubs
and strangled prey for the lioness.
It filled its dens with the kill,
and its lairs with mauled prey.
13“Behold, I am against you,”
declares the LORD of Hosts.
“I will send your chariots up in smoke,
and the sword will devour your young lions.
I will cut off your prey from the earth,
and the voices of your messengers
will no longer be heard.”
1Woe to the city of blood,
full of lies,
full of plunder,
never without prey.
— Nahum 2:9-3:1
