King James VersionSource notes
“Where the dwelling of the lions, and the feeding place of the young lions, where the lion, the old lion, walked, the lion’s whelp, and none made afraid?”
Context
8But Nineveh is of old like a pool of water: yet they shall flee away. Stand, stand, but none shall look back.
9Take ye the spoil of silver, take the spoil of gold: for none end of the store glory out of all the pleasant furniture.
10She is empty, and void, and waste: and the heart melteth, and the knees smite together, and much pain in all loins, and the faces of them all gather blackness.
11Where the dwelling of the lions, and the feeding place of the young lions, where the lion, the old lion, walked, the lion’s whelp, and none made afraid?
12The lion did tear in pieces enough for his whelps, and strangled for his lionesses, and filled his holes with prey, and his dens with ravin.
13Behold, I against thee, saith the LORD of hosts, and I will burn her chariots in the smoke, and the sword shall devour thy young lions: and I will cut off thy prey from the earth, and the voice of thy messengers shall no more be heard.
