Nahum 2:9-11

Good News Translation

⁹ Plunder the silver!
    Plunder the gold!
The city is full of treasure!

¹⁰ Nineveh is destroyed, deserted, desolate!
    Hearts melt with fear;
    knees tremble, strength is gone;
    faces grow pale.

¹¹ Where now is the city
    that was like a den of lions,
    the place where young lions were fed,
    where the lion and the lioness would go
    and their cubs would be safe?
