Nahum 2:11,12 - Coke's Commentary on the Holy Bible

Bible Comments

Where is the dwelling, &c.— Where is the dwelling of the lioness? And the same was the nursery of the young lions: that is, "What has become of the stately palaces of the king and princes of Nineveh; who, like so many lions, cruel and violent, knew no other law than their pride and ambition; preying both upon their own people and the neighbouring countries, and enriching themselves with the spoil which they kept from them."

Nahum 2:11-12

11 Where is the dwelling of the lions, and the feedingplace of the young lions, where the lion, even the old lion, walked, and the lion's whelp, and none made them afraid?

12 The 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.
