尼尼微城自古以来就像聚水的池子,
如今居民却像泄漏的池水四散奔逃。
虽有人喊:“站住!站住!”
却无人回头。
抢银子吧!抢金子吧!
城里有无尽的财富和数不清的宝物。
10 尼尼微被洗劫一空!
被洗劫一空!
一片荒凉!
人们胆战心惊,双膝哆嗦,
浑身发抖,面色苍白。

Nineveh is like a pool
    whose water is draining away.

Plunder the silver!
    Plunder the gold!
The supply is endless,
    the wealth from all its treasures!
10 She is pillaged, plundered, stripped!
    Hearts melt,(A) knees give way,
    bodies tremble, every face grows pale.(B)
