Nahum / Question
Question source
Nahum
Nahum compares Nineveh to a lion’s den to recall its predatory power and violent gain. The passage asks where that “lions’ den” is now, implying its strength will not last (Nahum 2:11–12).
11Where is the den of the lions, and the feeding-place of the young lions, where the lion and the lioness walked, the lion`s cubs, and no one made them afraid?
12The lion tore in pieces enough for his cubs, and strangled for his lionesses, and filled his caves with the kill, and his dens with prey.
