Nahum 2:5-7

Modern English Version

⁵ He remembers his officers
    as they stumble about on the road;
they hurry on to the wall
    as the siege tower is set up.
⁶ The holding gates are opened wide,
    and the palace washes away.
⁷ It is decreed:
    She is uncovered and led away captive;
her handmaidens shall lead her as with the voice of doves,
    beating their chests.
