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.
Now they flee away.
1“Halt! Halt!” they cry;
But no one turns back.
Take spoil of agold!
There is no end of treasure,
Or wealth of every desirable prize.
The heart melts, and the knees shake;
Much pain is in every side,
And all their faces1 are drained of color.
And the feeding place of the young lions,
Where the lion walked, the lioness and lion’s cub,
And no one made them afraid?

Nahum 2:9
Take ye the spoil - Though the king burnt his treasures, vestments, etc., he could not totally destroy the silver and the gold. Nor did he burn the riches of the city; these fell a prey to the conquerors; and there was no end of the store of glorious garments, and the most costly vessels and furniture.
