8. Nineveh is like a pool.And its water is draining away.“Stop! Stop!” the people yell.But no one turns back.
9. Take the silver!Take the gold!There is no end to the treasure.There is wealth of every kind.
10. Nineveh is robbed, ruined and destroyed.The people lose their courage. Their knees knock with fear.Stomachs ache. And everyone’s face grows pale from fright.
11. Where is the lions’ den?Where do they feed their young?Where did the lion, lioness and cubs go?Where were they not afraid?
12. The lion killed enough for his cubs.He killed it for his mate.He filled his cave with the animals he caught.He filled his den with what he had killed.
