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.
11 Where is the dwelling of the alions,
And the feeding place of the young lions,
Where the lion walked, the lioness and lion’s cub,
And no one made them afraid?
And the feeding place of the young lions,
Where the lion walked, the lioness and lion’s cub,
And no one made them afraid?
12 The lion tore in pieces enough for his cubs,
1Killed for his lionesses,
aFilled his caves with prey,
And his dens with1 flesh.
1Killed for his lionesses,
aFilled his caves with prey,
And his dens with1 flesh.
