9 Plunder the silver! Plunder the gold! The supply is endless, the wealth from all its treasures!
9 Take ye the spoil of silver, take the spoil of gold: for there is none end
9 Plunder the silver, plunder the gold! There is no end of the treasure or of the wealth of all precious things.
9 Other cries come: "Plunder the silver! Plunder the gold! A bonanza of plunder! Take everything you want!"
9 Take spoil of silver! Take spoil of gold! There is no end of treasure, Or wealth of every desirable prize.
9 Loot the silver! Plunder the gold! There's no end to Nineveh's treasures- its vast, uncounted wealth.
Matthew Henry's Commentary on Nahum 2:9
Commentary on Nahum 2:1-10
(Read Nahum 2:1-10)
Nineveh shall not put aside this judgment; there is no counsel or strength against the Lord. God looks upon proud cities, and brings them down. Particular account is given of the terrors wherein the invading enemy shall appear against Nineveh. The empire of Assyria is represented as a queen, about to be led captive to Babylon. Guilt in the conscience fills men with terror in an evil day; and what will treasures or glory do for us in times of distress, or in the day of wrath? Yet for such things how many lose their souls!
