Nahum 2:9-11
Contemporary English Version
9 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]
11 What happened to this city?
They were safer there
than powerful lions in a den,
with no one to disturb them.
Footnotes
- 2.10 faces turn pale: Or “ashes cover their faces.”
Nahum 2:9-11
New International Version
9 Plunder the silver!
Plunder the gold!
The supply is endless,
the wealth from all its treasures!
10 She is pillaged, plundered, stripped!
Hearts melt,(A) knees give way,
bodies tremble, every face grows pale.(B)
11 Where now is the lions’ den,(C)
the place where they fed their young,
where the lion and lioness went,
and the cubs, with nothing to fear?
