Nahum 2:5-7

Names of God Bible

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