8Nineveh has been like a pool of water
throughout her days,
but now it is draining away.
“Stop! Stop!” they cry,
but no one turns back.
9“Plunder the silver!
Plunder the gold!”
There is no end to the treasure,
an abundance of every precious thing.
10She is emptied!
Yes, she is desolate and laid waste!
Hearts melt, knees knock,
bodies tremble, and every face grows pale!
— Nahum 2:8-10
