But Nineveh hath been from of old like a pool of water: yet they flee away. Stand, stand, they cry; but none looketh back.

But Nineveh is like a pool of water whose waters are flowing away; Keep your place, they say; but no one is turning back.

Και η Νινευη ειναι παλαιοθεν ως λιμνη υδατων· ταυτα ομως θελουσι φυγει. Στητε, στητε, θελουσι φωναζει· και ουδεις ο βλεπων οπισω.

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.
