Nahum 2:8-10
Lexham English Bible
8 Nineveh is like a pool of water without its water.[a]
As they flee,[b] she cries, “Stop! Stop!”
But there is no one who turns back.
9 Plunder the silver! Plunder the gold!
There is no end to the spoils,[c]
an abundance of everything one could want![d]
10 Emptiness and plundering and devastation!
Their hearts faint and their knees tremble,[e]
All their loins shake[f] and all their faces turn[g] pale.
