Nahum 2:9 BBE

⁷  The river doorways are forced open, and the king's house is flowing away.

⁸  And the queen is uncovered, she is taken away and her servant-girls are weeping like the sound of doves, hammering on their breasts.

⁹  But Nineveh is like a pool of water whose waters are flowing away; Keep your place, they say; but no one is turning back.

¹⁰  Take silver, take gold; for there is no end to the store; take for yourselves a weight of things to be desired.

¹¹  Everything has been taken from her, all is gone, she has nothing more: the heart is turned to water, the knees are shaking, all are twisted in pain, and colour has gone from all faces.
