Nahum 2:8

Nineveh is like a pool whose waters run away. Halt ! Halt ! they cry, but none turns back .

Nineveh is like a pool whose water is draining away. “Stop! Stop!” they cry, but no one turns back.

But Nineveh is of old like a pool of water : yet they shall flee away. Stand, stand, shall they cry ; but none shall look back.
