Nineveh is like a pond
    with leaking water.
Shouts of “Stop! Don't go!”
can be heard everywhere.
    But everyone is leaving.

Enemy soldiers shout,
“The city is full of treasure
    and all kinds of wealth.
Steal her silver! Grab her gold!”

10 Nineveh is doomed! Destroyed!
Her people tremble with fear;
    their faces turn pale.[a]
