OET (OET-LV) [fn] where [is_the]_dwelling_place of_lions and_feeding_place it of_the_young_lions where it_walked lion lion there cub of_lion and_nothing [one_who]_terrified.
2:12 Note: KJB: Nah.2.11
OET (OET-RV) The lion tore apart enough for the cubs,
⇔ ≈and strangled prey for his lionesses.
⇔ He filled his lairs with prey
⇔ ≈and his dens with torn flesh.
Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit
(Occurrence 0) he strangled victims
(Some words not found in UHB: where den lions' and,feeding_place he/it of_the,young_lions which/who prowled lion lioness there cub lion's and,nothing disturb )
“he choked victims.” This is probably a reference to the way that lions usually kill their prey, by biting its throat. Alternate translation: “he killed his victims”
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / parallelism
(Occurrence 0) filled his cave with victims, his dens with torn carcasses
(Some words not found in UHB: where den lions' and,feeding_place he/it of_the,young_lions which/who prowled lion lioness there cub lion's and,nothing disturb )
These two phrases are saying the same thing in different ways. Alternate translation: “filled his cave with victims, and filled his dens with torn carcasses”
2:11-13 Following the description of Nineveh’s fall (2:1-10), Nahum inserts the first of three taunt songs (see also 3:8-13, 14-19; this was a common form in the ancient Near East). In biting satire, he compares Nineveh to a lion’s den. King Sennacherib and other Assyrian kings had compared themselves to lions, even decorating their palaces with artistic representations of lions and of themselves on lion hunts. However, with God as its enemy, Nineveh would no longer be the lair of an invincible predator.

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.
