Nahum 2:8-13
8Though NinevehH5210 was like a poolH1295 of waterH4325 throughoutH4480 her daysH3117, Yet they are fleeingH5127; “StopH5975, stopH5975,” But 1noH369 oneH369 turnsH6437 backH6437.9PlunderH962 the silverH3701, PlunderH962 the 2goldH2091! For thereH369 isH369 noH369 endH7097 to the treasureH8499-- WealthH3519 from everyH3605 kind of desirableH2532 objectH3627.10She is 3emptiedH950! Yes, she is desolateH4003 and wasteH1110! 4HeartsH3820 are meltingH4549 and kneesH1290 wobblingH6375! Also tremblingH2479 is in 5the entireH3605 bodyH4975, And allH3605 their 6facesH6440 have becomeH6908 paleH6289!11WhereH346 is the denH4583 of the lionsH743 And the feedingH4829 placeH4829 of the 7youngH3715 lionsH3715, WhereH834H8033 the lionH743, lionessH3833, and lion’sH743 cubH1482 wentH1980 With nothingH369 to disturbH2729 them?12The lionH743 toreH2963 enoughH1767 for his cubsH1484, 8KilledH2614 enough prey for his lionessesH3833, And filledH4390 his lairsH2356 with preyH2964 And his densH4585 with tornH2966 fleshH2966.
13“BeholdH2009, 9I am againstH413 you,” declaresH5002 the LordH3068 of armiesH6635. “I will 10burnH1197 upH1197 her chariotsH7393 in smokeH6227, and a swordH2719 will devourH398 your youngH3715 lionsH3715; I will 11eliminateH3772 your preyH2964 from the landH776, and noH3808 longerH5750 will the voiceH6963 of your messengersH4397 be heardH8085.”
