its mistress[a] is (A)stripped;[b] she is carried off,
    her slave girls (B)lamenting,
moaning like doves
    and beating their breasts.
(C)Nineveh is like a pool
    whose waters run away.[c]
“Halt! Halt!” they cry,
    but (D)none turns back.
Plunder the silver,
    plunder the gold!
There is no end of the treasure
    or of the wealth of all precious things.
