The City Falls and is Plundered
Nahum 2:6-10
6
The gates of the rivers are opened, and the palace is dissolved.
7
It is decreed: she is uncovered, she is carried away; and her handmaids moan as with the voice of doves, beating on their breasts.
8
But Nineveh has been from of old like a pool of water, yet they flee away. “Stop! Stop!” they cry, but no one looks back.
9
Take the plunder of silver. Take the plunder of gold, for there is no end of the store, the glory of all goodly furniture.
10
She is empty, void, and waste. The heart melts, the knees knock together, their bodies and faces have grown pale.
