bbe @Nahum:2:1 @A crusher has come up before your face : keep a good look-out , let the way be watched , make yourself strong , let your power be greatly increased . bbe @Nahum:2:2 @For the Lord will make good the vine of Jacob , as well as the vine of Israel : for the wasters have made them waste and sent destruction on the branches of their vine . bbe @Nahum:2:3 @The body-covers of his fighting men have been made red , the men of war are clothed in bright red : the war-carriages are like flames of fire in the day when he gets ready , the horses are shaking . bbe @Nahum:2:4 @The war-carriages are rushing through the streets , pushing against one another in the wide ways , looking like burning lights , running like thunder-flames . bbe @Nahum:2:5 @He takes the record of his great men : they go falling on their way ; they go quickly to the wall , the cover is made ready . bbe @Nahum:2:6 @The river doorways are forced open , and the king 's house is flowing away . bbe @Nahum:2:7 @And the queen is uncovered , she is taken away and her servant-girls are weeping like the sound of doves , hammering on their breasts . bbe @Nahum:2:8 @But Nineveh is like a pool of water whose waters are flowing away ; Keep your place , they say ; but no one is turning back . bbe @Nahum:2:9 @Take silver , take gold ; for there is no end to the store ; take for yourselves a weight of things to be desired . bbe @Nahum:2:10 @Everything has been taken from her , all is gone , she has nothing more : the heart is turned to water , the knees are shaking , all are twisted in pain , and colour has gone from all faces . bbe @Nahum:2:11 @Where is the lions ' hole , the place where the young lions got their food , where the lion and the she-lion were walking with their young , without cause for fear ? bbe @Nahum:2:12 @Food enough for his young and for his she-lions was pulled down by the lion ; his hole was full of flesh and his resting-place stored with meat . bbe @Nahum:2:13 @See , I am against you , says the Lord of armies , and I will have your war-carriages burned in the smoke , and your young lions will be food for the sword : you will no longer get your food by force on the earth , and the voice of your she-lions will be stopped for ever .
