Where now is that great Nineveh, that den filled with young lions? It was a place where people— like lions and their cubs— walked freely and without fear.The lion tore up meat for his cubs and strangled prey for his mate. He filled his den with prey, his caverns with his plunder.“ I am your enemy!” says the Lord of Heaven’s Armies.“ Your chariots will soon go up in smoke. Your young men will be killed in battle. Never again will you plunder conquered nations. The voices of your proud messengers will be heard no more.”

She raised one of her cubs to become a strong young lion. He learned to hunt and devour prey, and he became a man eater.Then the nations heard about him, and he was trapped in their pit. They led him away with hooks to the land of Egypt.“ When the lioness saw that her hopes for him were gone, she took another of her cubs and taught him to be a strong young lion.He prowled among the other lions and stood out among them in his strength. He learned to hunt and devour prey, and he, too, became a man eater.
