1 An enemy comes to Nineveh. Guard the wall. Watch the road. Be brave. Be strong. ️ 2 God will make His people, Jacob and Israel, strong again. Bad men hurt them before and broke many things. ❤️ 3 The enemy soldiers hold red shields and wear red. War carts shine. Long sticks for war wave high. ️✨ 4 War carts race in the streets. They go fast in the big open places. They shine like fire and flash like lightning. ⚡ 5 The king calls his leaders. They run fast and trip. They hurry to the wall and set a big war tower. ♂️ 6 The river gates open. The king’s big house falls down. ️ 7 The queen is taken away. Her maids cry loud like doves and hit their chests. ️ 8 Nineveh is like a pool with water running away. People shout, “Stop! Stop!” But no one stops or comes back. ️♀️♂️ 9 The enemy says, “Take the silver! Take the gold!” There is so much treasure. 10 The city is empty and broken. Hearts melt, knees shake, and faces turn pale. 11 Where is the lions’ den now? Where big lions and baby lions ate and no one came near? ❓ 12 The lion got food for his babies and their moms. He filled his caves with meat. 13 God says He is against Nineveh. He will burn the war carts. A sword will stop the strong young men. He will stop them from taking things. Their news men will be quiet. ️
