Nahum 2:7-10 - Nineveh's Treasures Will Be Taken

⁷ It has been determined: The woman is unveiled and sent away, her servant girls mourn. Beating their breasts, they whimper like doves. ⁸ Nineveh is a reservoir whose water is draining away. "Wait! Wait!" they cry, yet not even one person looks back. ⁹ Take the silver! Take the gold! There is no end to the treasure fabulous riches of every imagination. ¹⁰ Nineveh is devastated, deserted, and desolate. Her heart melts, her knees knock. Every stomach is upset, every face grows pale.
