Nahum 2:7-10

7It is set: She is stripped, she is led away, And her slave women are 1sobbing like the sound of doves, 2Beating their 3breasts.

8Though Nineveh was like a pool of water throughout her days, Yet they are fleeing; “Stop, stop,” But 4no one turns back.9Plunder the silver, Plunder the 5gold! For there is no end to the treasure-- Wealth from every kind of desirable object.10She is 6emptied! Yes, she is desolate and waste! 7Hearts are melting and knees wobbling! Also trembling is in 8the entire body, And all their 9faces have become pale!
