Nahum 2:9-11

Contemporary English Version

⁹ Enemy soldiers shout,
“The city is full of treasure
    and all kinds of wealth.
Steal her silver! Grab her gold!”

¹⁰ Nineveh is doomed! Destroyed!
Her people tremble with fear;
    their faces turn pale.^[a]
11 What happened to this city?
    They were safer there
than powerful lions in a den,
    with no one to disturb them.
