Nahum 2:8-10

Revised Standard Version

⁸Nin′eveh is like a pool
    whose waters^[a] run away.
“Halt! Halt!” they cry;
    but none turns back.
⁹Plunder the silver,
    plunder the gold!
There is no end of treasure,
    or wealth of every precious thing.

¹⁰Desolate! Desolation and ruin!
Hearts faint and knees tremble,
anguish is on all loins,
all faces grow pale!
