Nahum 2:8-10

New Century Version

⁸ Nineveh is like a pool,
    and now its water is draining away.
“Stop! Stop!” the people yell,
    but no one turns back.
⁹ Take the silver!
    Take the gold!
There is no end to the treasure—
    piles of wealth of every kind.
¹⁰ Nineveh is robbed, ruined, and destroyed.
    The people lose their courage, and their knees knock.
    Stomachs ache, and everyone’s face grows pale.
