7. The queen is taken captive;her servants moan like dovesand beat their breasts in sorrow.
8. Like water from a broken damthe people rush from Nineveh!“Stop! Stop!” the cry rings out —but no one turns back.
9. Plunder the silver!Plunder the gold!The city is full of treasure!
10. Nineveh is destroyed, deserted, desolate!Hearts melt with fear;knees tremble, strength is gone;faces grow pale.
