Nahum 2:8-10

Modern English Version

⁸ Nineveh is like a pool
    whose waters run away.
“Halt! Halt!” they cry,
    but no one turns back.
⁹ “Plunder the silver!
    Plunder the gold!
There is no limit to the treasure,
    or to the wealth of every precious thing.”
¹⁰ She is desolate, empty, and waste!
    Hearts melt away, and knees shake;
    pain is in all the loins, and all their faces grow pale.
