Nahum 2:9-11
International Children’s Bible
9 Take the silver!
Take the gold!
There is no end to the treasure.
There is wealth of every kind.
10 Nineveh is robbed, ruined and destroyed.
The people lose their courage. Their knees knock with fear.
Stomachs ache. And everyone’s face grows pale from fright.
11 Where is the lions’[a] den?
Where do they feed their young?
Where did the lion, lioness and cubs go?
Where were they not 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?
