Nahum 2:8
Compare all
6 The gates of the rivers are opened,
And the palace is dissolved.
7 1It is decreed:
She shall be led away captive,
She shall be brought up;
And her maidservants shall lead her as with the voice of doves,
Beating their breasts. 
8 Though Nineveh of old was like a pool of water,
Now they flee away.
1“Halt! Halt!” they cry;
But no one turns back. 
9 1Take spoil of silver!
Take spoil of agold!
There is no end of treasure,
Or wealth of every desirable prize. 
10 She is empty, desolate, and waste!
The heart melts, and the knees shake;
Much pain is in every side,
And all their faces1 are drained of color.

Nahum 2:8

Like a pool - Very populous, like a pool which hath been long breeding fish, and is full of them. Yet - Yet these multitudes shall flee discomfited and terrified. They - The chieftains, and most valiant among the Ninevites.
