Nahum 2:8-10

Common English Bible

⁸ Nineveh has been like a pool of water.
        Such are its waters,^[a] and others are fleeing.
            “Stop, stop!”—but no one can turn them back.
⁹ Plunder silver! Plunder gold!
        There is no end to the supplies,
            an abundance of precious objects!
¹⁰ Destruction and devastation;
        the city is laid waste!
    The heart grows faint and knees buckle;
        there is anguish in every groin;
            all the faces grow pale.
