Nahum 2:8-10

New Catholic Bible

⁸ The captives are taken into exile
    and its slave girls are carried away,
moaning like doves
    and beating their breasts.
⁹ Nineveh is like a lake
    whose waters are ebbing away.
“Stop! Stop!” goes up the cry,
    but no one turns back.
¹⁰ “Plunder the silver!
    Plunder the gold!
There is no end to the treasure,
    an abundance of wealth
    from precious things of every kind.”
