Nahum 2:5-7

New International Version - UK

⁵ Nineveh summons her picked troops,
    yet they stumble on their way.
They dash to the city wall;
    the protective shield is put in place.
⁶ The river gates are thrown open
    and the palace collapses.
⁷ It is decreed^[a] that Nineveh
    be exiled and carried away.
Her female slaves moan like doves
    and beat on their breasts.
