11. Where now is the den of the lions,the feeding place of the young lions,where the lion, lioness, and lion cub once prowledand no one disturbed them?

13. “I am against you!” declares the Lord who commands armies:“I will burn your chariots with fire;the sword will devour your young lions;you will no longer prey upon the land;the voices of your messengers will no longer be heard.”
