Nahum 2:8-10

International Standard Version

⁸ Nineveh is a reservoir whose water is draining away.
    “Wait! Wait!” they cry,^[a]
        yet not even one person^[b] looks back.
⁹ Take the silver! Take the gold!
    There is no end to the treasure—
        fabulous riches of every imagination.
¹⁰ Nineveh^[c] is devastated, deserted, and desolate.
    Her heart melts, her knees knock.
Every stomach is upset,
    every face grows pale.^[d]
