Nahum 2:7-9

New Century Version

⁷ It has been announced that the people of Nineveh
    will be captured and carried away.
The slave girls moan like doves
    and beat their breasts, because they are sad.
⁸ Nineveh is like a pool,
    and now its water is draining away.
“Stop! Stop!” the people yell,
    but no one turns back.
⁹ Take the silver!
    Take the gold!
There is no end to the treasure—
    piles of wealth of every kind.
