Nahum 2:8 ASV

⁶  The gates of the rivers are opened, and the palace is dissolved.

⁷  And it is decreed: she is uncovered, she is carried away; and her handmaids moan as with the voice of doves, beating upon their breasts.

⁸  But Nineveh hath been from of old like a pool of water: yet they flee away. Stand, stand, 'they cry'; but none looketh back.

⁹  Take ye the spoil of silver, take the spoil of gold; for there is no end of the store, the glory of all goodly furniture.

¹⁰  She is empty, and void, and waste; and the heart melteth, and the knees smite together, and anguish is in all loins, and the faces of them all are waxed pale.
