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.

However, with God as its enemy, Nineveh would no longer be the lair of an invincible predator.
