Nineveh has been like a pool of water
from her first days,[a]

“Stop! Stop!” they cry,
but no one turns back.
“Plunder the silver! Plunder the gold!”

an abundance of every precious thing.(A)
10 Desolation, decimation, devastation!
Hearts melt,(B)
knees tremble,
loins shake,
every face grows pale!(C)
