Normally the OET discourages the reading of individual ‘verses’, but this view is only designed for doing comparisons of different translations. Click on any Bible version abbreviation down the left-hand side to see the verse in more of its context. The OET segments on this page are still very early looks into the unfinished texts of the Open English Translation of the Bible. Please double-check these texts in advance before using in public.

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 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”
