“She is empty, and void, and waste: and the heart melteth, and the knees smite together, and much pain is in all loins, and the faces of them all gather blackness.”
Desolation, devastation, and destruction! Hearts faint and knees tremble; anguish is on all loins, and all faces grow pale—the cumulative effect of Nineveh's judgment produces universal terror and despair. The catalog of destruction-words and the description of physical fear capture both the outer devastation and the inner psychological collapse of the population. The total enumeration suggests completeness of judgment.
