Where now is the lions’ den, the place where they fed their young, where the lion and lioness went, and the cubs, with nothing to fear?

Assyria is like a lion. Where is the lions’ den now? Where did they feed their cubs? Where did all the lions go? In their den they had nothing to fear.

Where is the lions’ den, the feeding place of the young lions, where the lion and lioness went, where his cubs were, with none to disturb?

Where is the lions’ lair, or the feeding ground of the young lions, where the lion and lioness prowled, and the lion’s cub, with nothing to frighten them away?

They will roar like lions, like the strongest of lions. Growling, they will pounce on their victims and carry them off, and no one will be there to rescue them.

Strong lions have roared against him, and the land has been destroyed. The towns are now in ruins, and no one lives in them anymore.

The lion roars and the wildcat snarls, but the teeth of strong lions will be broken.The fierce lion will starve for lack of prey, and the cubs of the lioness will be scattered.

“ The Israelites are like sheep that have been scattered by lions. First the king of Assyria ate them up. Then King Nebuchadnezzar of Babylon cracked their bones.”

“ What is your mother? A lioness among lions! She lay down among the young lions and reared her cubs.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.He demolished fortresses and destroyed their towns and cities. Their farms were desolated, and their crops were destroyed. The land and its people trembled in fear when they heard him roar.Then the armies of the nations attacked him, surrounding him from every direction. They threw a net over him and captured him in their pit.

“ I will come like a lion from the thickets of the Jordan, leaping on the sheep in the pasture. I will chase Babylon from its land, and I will appoint the leader of my choice. For who is like me, and who can challenge me? What ruler can oppose my will?”

What sorrow awaits Nineveh, the city of murder and lies! She is crammed with wealth and is never without victims.

Judah, my son, is a young lion that has finished eating its prey. Like a lion he crouches and lies down; like a lioness— who dares to rouse him?

But this is what the Lord has told me:“ When a strong young lion stands growling over a sheep it has killed, it is not frightened by the shouts and noise of a whole crowd of shepherds. In the same way, the Lord of Heaven’s Armies will come down and fight on Mount Zion.

A lion stalks from its den, a destroyer of nations. It has left its lair and is headed your way. It’s going to devastate your land! Your towns will lie in ruins, with no one living in them anymore.

Its leaders are like roaring lions hunting for their victims. Its judges are like ravenous wolves at evening time, who by dawn have left no trace of their prey.
