Nahum 2:7-9

Modern English Version

⁷ It is decreed:
    She is uncovered and led away captive;
her handmaidens shall lead her as with the voice of doves,
    beating their chests.
⁸ Nineveh is like a pool
    whose waters run away.
“Halt! Halt!” they cry,
    but no one turns back.
⁹ “Plunder the silver!
    Plunder the gold!
There is no limit to the treasure,
    or to the wealth of every precious thing.”
