Nahum 2:6-11
Read Nahum 2 in full →6The gates of the rivers are opened,And the palace is melted away.7So it stands fixed:She is exiled, she is carried away,And her maidservants are amoaning like the sound of doves,bBeating on their hearts.8Though Nineveh was like a pool of water throughout her days,Now they are fleeing;“Stand! Stand!”But ano one 1turns back.9Plunder the silver!Plunder the agold!And there is no limit to the treasure—1Wealth from every kind of desirable object.10She is aemptied! Yes, she is emptied out and eviscerated!bHearts are melting and knees knocking!Also anguish is in all their loins,And all their cfaces 1turn pale!11Where is the den of the lionsAnd the feeding place of the ayoung lions,Where the lion, lioness, and lion’s cub prowled,With nothing to make them tremble?
