Nahum 2:9-11

Easy-to-Read Version

⁹ Take the silver!
    Take the gold!
There are many things to take.
    There are many treasures.
¹⁰ Now Nineveh is empty.
    Everything is stolen.
    The city is ruined.
People have lost their courage,
    their hearts melt with fear,
their knees knock together,
    their bodies shake,
    and their faces turn pale.

¹¹ Where is that great city now?
    It was like a den where the lions feed their young.
It was a place where people felt safe,
    like lions in a cave with no one there to harm them.
