Strongs On/Off
Context
2:9 Her conquerors cry out: “Plunder the silver ! Plunder the gold !” There is no end to the treasure ; riches of every kind of precious thing .
2:10 Destruction , devastation , and desolation ! Their hearts faint , their knees tremble , each stomach churns , each face turns pale !
Taunt against the Once-Mighty Lion
2:11 Where now is the den of the lions , the feeding place of the young lions , where the lion , lioness , and lion cub once prowled and no one disturbed them?
2:12 The lion tore apart as much prey as his cubs needed and strangled prey to provide food for his lionesses ; he filled his lairs with prey and his dens with torn flesh.
Battle Cry of the Divine Warrior
2:13 “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 .”
