Naum 2:11-13

11 Onde está agora a toca dos leões?O lugar em que alimentavam seus filhotes,para onde iam o leão, a leoae os leõezinhos, sem nada temer?
12 Onde está o leão que caçava o bastante para os seus filhotes,estrangulava animais para as suas leoase enchia as suas covas de presase as suas tocas de vítimas?
13 “Estou contra você”,declara o SENHOR dos Exércitos;“queimarei no fogo os seus carros de guerra,e a espada matará os seus leões.Eliminarei da terra a sua caça,e a voz dos seus mensageirosjamais será ouvida”.

Naum 2:11-13 Meaning and Commentary

INTRODUCTION TO NAHUM 2

This chapter gives an account of the destruction of the city of Nineveh; describes the instruments of it as very terrible and powerful, and not to be resisted, Na 2:1-4. The manner of taking it, the flight of its inhabitants, and the spoil of its riches and treasures, Na 2:5-10 and the king and the princes thereof, compared to a lion, and a lion's whelp, are insulted as being without a den or dwelling place, because of their cruelty and ravening, for which the Lord was against them, and threatened them with utter ruin, which he brought upon them, Na 2:11-13.
