Behold, I am 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.

Verse 13 is found in chapter 2 of Nahum. The image of the lion constitutes a powerful irony. Nineveh had been portrayed as a predator among the nations, accumulating spoil for its own dominion; now God declares that he will destroy the very den of that predatory power.

Der Löwe raubte genug für seine Jungen und würgte es für seine Löwinnen; seine Höhlen füllte er mit Raub und seine Wohnung mit dem, was er zerrissen hatte.
Heme aquí contra ti, dice Jehová de los ejércitos. Encenderé y reduciré a humo tus carros, y espada devorará tus leoncillos; y raeré de la tierra tu robo, y nunca más se oirá voz de tus embajadores.
«Aquí estoy contra ti —declara Jehová de los ejércitos—. Quemaré sus carros hasta reducirlos a humo; la espada devorará a tus leoncillos. Eliminaré de la tierra tu presa y ya no se oirá la voz de tus mensajeros».
Voici, j'en veux à toi, dit l'Eternel des armées; Je réduirai tes chars en fumée, L'épée dévorera tes lionceaux, J'arracherai du pays ta proie, Et l'on n'entendra plus la voix de tes messagers.
Eccomi a te, dice il Signor degli eserciti; io arderò, e ridurrò in fumo i tuoi carri, e la spada divorerà i tuoi leoncelli; e sterminerò dalla terra la tua preda, e la voce de’ tuoi messi non sarà più udita
Eis que eu estou contra ti, diz o SENHOR dos Exércitos, e queimarei na fumaça os teus carros, e a espada devorará os teus leõezinhos, e arrancarei da terra a tua presa, e não se ouvirá mais a voz dos teus mensageiros.
看哪,我與你為敵,將它的戰車 焚燒成煙,刀劍必吞滅你的少壯獅子;我必從地上除滅你的獵物,你使者的聲音必不再聽見。這是萬軍之耶和華說的。
