Nahum 2:8-10
Lexham English Bible

8 Nineveh is like a pool of water without its water.[a]
    As they flee,[b] she cries, “Stop! Stop!”
        But there is no one who turns back.
9 Plunder the silver! Plunder the gold!
    There is no end to the spoils,[c]
        an abundance of everything one could want![d]
10 Emptiness and plundering and devastation!
    Their hearts faint and their knees tremble,[e]
        All their loins shake[f] and all their faces turn[g] pale.
