^lhe became a young lion,
^mand he learned to catch prey;
he devoured men.
4 The nations heard about him;
ⁿhe was caught in their pit,
^oand they brought him with hooks
to the land of Egypt.
5 When she saw that she waited in vain,
that her hope was lost,
^pshe took another of her cubs
and made him a young lion.
6 He prowled among the lions;
he became a young lion,
and he learned to catch prey;
he devoured men,

^wyou burst forth in your rivers,
trouble the waters with your feet,
and foul their rivers.

Nahum 2:11-13

11 Where is the lions’ den,
the feeding place of ^xthe young lions,
where the lion and lioness went,
where his cubs were, with ^ynone to disturb?
12 ^zThe lion tore enough for his cubs
and ^aastrangled prey for his lionesses;
he filled his caves with prey
and his dens with torn flesh.
13 ^abBehold, I am against you, declares the Lord of hosts, and ^acI will burn your ^{▼▼Hebrew her} chariots in smoke, and the sword shall devour your young lions. I will cut off your prey from the earth, and ^aethe voice of your messengers shall no longer be heard.

for their glory is ruined!
The sound of the roar of ^ahthe lions,
^aifor the thicket of the Jordan is ruined!
