Nahum 2:8
Berean Standard Bible
Nineveh has been like a pool of water throughout her days, but now it is draining away. “Stop! Stop!” they cry, but no one turns back.
Context
6The river gates are thrown open
and the palace collapses. 7It is decreed that the city be exiled
and carried away;
her maidservants moan like doves,
and beat upon their breasts. 8Nineveh has been like a pool of water
throughout her days,
but now it is draining away.
“Stop! Stop!” they cry,
but no one turns back. 9“Plunder the silver!
Plunder the gold!”
There is no end to the treasure,
an abundance of every precious thing. 10She is emptied!
Yes, she is desolate and laid waste!
Hearts melt, knees knock,
bodies tremble, and every face grows pale!
