אַיֵּה֙ מְע֣וֹן אֲרָי֔וֹת וּמִרְעֶ֥ה ה֖וּא לַכְּפִרִ֑ים אֲשֶׁ֣ר הָלַךְ֩ אַרְיֵ֨ה לָבִ֥יא שָׁ֛ם גּ֥וּר אַרְיֵ֖ה וְאֵ֥ין מַחֲרִֽיד
(Some words not found in UHB: where den_of lions' and_[is],pasture he/it for_(the),lions which/who prowled lion lioness there cub_of lion's and,there_[was]_not disturb )
The author is using the question form to emphasize that this place is gone. If you would not use the question form for this purpose in your language, you could translate this as a statement or an exclamation. Alternate translation: [That lions’ den, that feeding place for the young lions, where the lion walked, the lioness there, and the cubs of the lion, where nothing made them afraid—that place is gone!]

מְע֣וֹן אֲרָי֔וֹת
den_of lions'
Here through [verse 13](../02/13.md) Nahum uses an extended metaphor in which he speaks of the people of Nineveh as though they were lions, and of their victims as though they were the lion’s prey. See the discussion in the chapter introduction.

lioness (Some words not found in UHB: where den_of lions' and_[is],pasture he/it for_(the),lions which/who prowled lion lioness there cub_of lion's and,there_[was]_not disturb )
The author is leaving out some of the words that in many languages a sentence would need in order to be complete. You could supply these words from earlier in the sentence if it would be clearer in your language. Alternate translation: [the lioness also walked there]

Note: The OET-RV is still only a first draft, and so far only a few words have been (mostly automatically) matched to the Hebrew or Greek words that they’re translated from.
