“Take ye the spoil of silver, take the spoil of gold: for there is none end of the store and glory out of all the pleasant furniture.”
Plunder the silver, plunder the gold! There is no end of the treasure, an abundance of every precious thing—an ironic taunt inviting the spoilers to despoil Nineveh's vast wealth. The sarcastic tone emphasizes that Nineveh's accumulated riches offer no protection against divine judgment; treasure becomes merely the spoil of conquerors. The irony highlights the futility of relying on material abundance rather than covenant faithfulness.
