The words about Nineveh, like a pool of water, and the den of the lions
물이 모인 못 같던 니느웨와 사자의 굴을 두고 이르는 말
Nahum 2:8–13: the text says, “But Nineveh has been from of old like a pool of water, yet they flee away. ‘Stop! Stop!’ they cry, but no one looks back. Take the plunder of silver. Take the plunder of gold, for there is no end of treasure, an abundance of every precious thing. She is empty, void, and waste. The heart melts, the knees knock together, their bodies and faces have grown pale. Where is the den of the lions, and the feeding place of the young lions, where the lion and the lioness walked with the lion’s cubs, and no one made them afraid? The lion tore in pieces enough for his cubs, and strangled prey for his lionesses, and filled his caves with the kill and his dens with prey.” “Behold, I am against you,” says the LORD of Armies, “and I will burn her chariots in the smoke, and the sword will devour your young lions; and I will cut off your prey from the earth, and the voice of your messengers will no longer be heard.” The Korean Revised Version names Nineveh at 2:10 (니느웨가 공허하였고 황무하였도다), where WEB reads “She is empty, void, and waste”; at 2:13 it reads 너의 병거들을, in the second person, where WEB reads “her chariots”, and it opens 2:13 with 만군의 여호와의 말씀에 and closes it with 하셨느니라.
