Nahum 2:7-10

International Children’s Bible

⁷ It has been announced that the people of Nineveh
    will be captured and carried away.
The slave girls moan like doves.
    They beat their breasts because they are sad.
⁸ Nineveh is like a pool.
    And its water is draining away.
“Stop! Stop!” the people yell.
    But no one turns back.
⁹ Take the silver!
    Take the gold!
There is no end to the treasure.
    There is wealth of every kind.
¹⁰ Nineveh is robbed, ruined and destroyed.
    The people lose their courage. Their knees knock with fear.
    Stomachs ache. And everyone’s face grows pale from fright.
