Nahum 2:9-11
1599 Geneva Bible
9 [a]Spoil ye the silver, spoil the gold: for there is none end of the store and glory of all the pleasant vessels.
10 [b]She is empty and void and waste, and the heart melteth, and the knees smite together, and sorrow is in all loins, and the faces [c]of them all gather blackness.
11 Where is the [d]dwelling of the lions, and the pasture of the lion’s whelps? where the lion and the lioness waked, and the lion’s whelp, and none made them afraid.

Nahum 2:9-11
New International Version
9 Plunder the silver!
Plunder the gold!
The supply is endless,
the wealth from all its treasures!
10 She is pillaged, plundered, stripped!
Hearts melt,(A) knees give way,
bodies tremble, every face grows pale.(B)
11 Where now is the lions’ den,(C)
the place where they fed their young,
where the lion and lioness went,
and the cubs, with nothing to fear?
