2and say:What was your mother? oA lioness!
Among lions she crouched;
in the midst of young lions
she reared her cubs.
3And she brought up one of her cubs;
phe became a young lion,
qand he learned to catch prey;
he devoured men.
4The nations heard about him;
rhe was caught in their pit,
sand they brought him with hooks
to the land of Egypt.
5When she saw that she waited in vain,
that her hope was lost,
tshe took another of her cubs
and made him a young lion.
6He prowled among the lions;
he became a young lion,
and he learned to catch prey;
he devoured men,
7and seized ▼
▼Hebrew knew
their widows.He laid waste their cities,
and the land was appalled and all who were in it
at the sound of his roaring.
8 vThen the nations set against him
from provinces on every side;
wthey spread their net over him;
xhe was taken in their pit.
Nahum 3:1
Woe to Nineveh
1 Woe to ythe bloody city,all full of lies and plunder—
zno end to the prey!
