Nahum 2:10

She, Nineveh, taken, and under the proud insultings of the barbarous soldiers, is empty though once full of all store, yet now she is empty enough, many hands have been employed to spoil her, and void, citizens are either slipped away, or carried captives, and waste, desolate, and shall continue so. Here is a threefold expression, to ascertain the thing, and to intimate the greatness of Nineveh's desolation. The heart melteth; this devastation hath broken the hearts of the Ninevites. The knees smite together; not able to go steadily, ready to fall through weakness and faintness of spirits. Much pain, acute pains and griefs, caused by their troubles, losses, dangers, and frights, is in all loins; which, in those that are well, are their strength, and which, to diseased and broken bodies, are the seat of pains and griefs. The faces, which were wont to be haughty and scornful, and as it were sparkle with briskness of spirit, all gather blackness; now are clouded, sorrowful, and dejected, every one may see their desperate state in this symptom.
