Nahum 2:7-9

New Life Version

⁷ The city is laid waste and the people are carried away. Her women servants are crying like doves, beating on their breasts.

⁸ Nineveh is like a pool, where water runs away. “Stop! Stop!” they cry. But no one turns back. ⁹ Take the silver! Take the gold! For there is no end of the riches, every kind of thing of great worth.
