Nahum 2:7-9

GOD’S WORD Translation

⁷ The Lord has determined:
“It will be stripped.
It will be carried away.
Its young women will be mourning like doves
as they beat their breasts.”
⁸ Nineveh was like a pool of water from its first day on.
But now its people are fleeing.
“Stop! Stop!”
But no one turns around.
⁹ Steal the silver! Steal the gold!
There is no end to what is stored here—
everything a person could ever want.
