Nahum 2:6-11
6The gatesH8179 of the riversH5104 are openedH6605 And the palaceH1964 is dissolvedH4127.7It is fixedH5324: She is strippedH1540, she is carriedH5927 awayH5927, And her handmaidsH519 are 1moaningH5090 like the soundH6963 of dovesH3123, 2BeatingH8608 on their 3breastsH3824.
8Though NinevehH5210 was like a poolH1295 of waterH4325 throughoutH4480 her daysH3117, Now they are fleeingH5127; “StopH5975, stopH5975,” But 4noH369 oneH369 turnsH6437 backH6437.9PlunderH962 the silverH3701! PlunderH962 the 5goldH2091! For thereH369 is noH369 limitH7097 to the treasureH8499-- WealthH3519 from everyH3605 kind of desirableH2532 objectH3627.10She is 6emptiedH950! Yes, she is desolateH4003 and wasteH1110! 7HeartsH3820 are meltingH4549 and kneesH1290 knockingH6375! Also anguishH2479 is in 8the wholeH3605 bodyH4975 And allH3605 their 9facesH6440 are grownH6908 paleH6289!11WhereH346 is the denH4583 of the lionsH743 And the feedingH4829 placeH4829 of the 10youngH3715 lionsH3715, WhereH834H8033 the lionH743, lionessH3833 and lion’sH743 cubH1482 prowledH1980, With nothingH369 to disturbH2729 them?
