8. Like water from a broken damthe people rush from Nineveh!“Stop! Stop!” the cry rings out —but no one turns back.
9. Plunder the silver!Plunder the gold!The city is full of treasure!
10. Nineveh is destroyed, deserted, desolate!Hearts melt with fear;knees tremble, strength is gone;faces grow pale.
11. Where now is the citythat was like a den of lions,the place where young lions were fed,where the lion and the lioness would goand their cubs would be safe?
