Nahum 2:5-7

Easy-to-Read Version

⁵ The enemy calls for his best soldiers.
    They stumble as they rush ahead.
They run to the wall
    and set up their shield over the battering ram.
⁶ But the gates by the rivers are open,
    and the enemy comes flooding in and destroys the king’s palace.
⁷ The enemy takes away the queen,
    and her slave girls moan sadly like doves.
    They beat their breasts to show their sadness.
