8And Nineveh [is] as a pool of waters, From of old it [is] -- and they are fleeing! `Stand ye, stand;` and none is turning!

10She is empty, yea, emptiness and waste, And the heart hath melted, And the knees have smitten together, And great pain [is] in all loins, And the faces of all of them have gathered paleness.
11Where [is] the habitation of lionesses? And a feeding-place it [is] for young lions Where walked hath a lion, an old lion, A lion`s whelp, and there is none troubling.
