8 Nineveh was like a pool of water throughout her days, but now her people are running away; she cries out: “Stop! Stop!”—but no one turns back.
Darby
8 Nineveh hath been like a pool of water, since the day she existed, yet they flee away. Stand! Stand! But none looketh back.
KJV
8 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.
