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.
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.
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.
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.
The heart melts, and the knees shake;
Much pain is in every side,
And all their faces1 are drained of color.
