11 Where is the den of the lions And the feeding place of the ayoung lions, Where the lion, lioness and lion's cub prowled, With nothing to disturb them?

12 The lion tore enough for his cubs, Killed enough for his lionesses, And filled his lairs with prey And his dens with torn flesh.

13 "Behold, aI am against you," declares the Lord of hosts. "I will bburn up her chariots in smoke, a sword will devour your young lions; I will ccut off your prey from the land, and no longer will the voice of your messengers be heard."

Zephaniah 2
