Nahum 2:7-9
EasyEnglish Bible
7 Nineveh's people must be led away to another country. They are ashamed. Her female slaves cry like doves and they hit themselves.
8 Nineveh is like a pool of water. But now its people run away, like water that is pouring away. ‘Stop, stop!’ they shout, but nobody comes back.
9 Take the silver. Take the gold. The city has so many valuable things.[a]

- 2:9 All the people in Nineveh run away to different places. Some of them try to stop the water but they fail. This is because the people in this city have no love for each other. They only came to live there because of the many valuable things that their soldiers had taken from other countries.
