Nahum 2:5-7

GOD’S WORD Translation

⁵ He remembers his best fighting men.
They stumble over themselves as they march.
They hurry to Nineveh’s wall.
The shield has been set up for the battering ram.
⁶ The gates of the rivers are opened, and the palace melts away.

⁷ The Lord has determined:
“It will be stripped.
It will be carried away.
Its young women will be mourning like doves
as they beat their breasts.”
