The sailors aboard ship rose toward the sky. They plunged into the depths. Their courage melted in ⌞the face of⌟ disaster.
Even the bravest man with a heart like a lion would lose his courage, because all Israel knows that your father is a warrior and the men with him are brave.
I am drowning in tears. Strengthen me as you promised.
I am poured out like water, and all my bones are out of joint. My heart is like wax. It has melted within me.
That is why every hand will hang limp, and everyone’s courage will fail.
Nineveh is destroyed, deserted, demolished. Hearts are melting. Knees are knocking. Every stomach becomes upset. Every face turns pale.
