Nahum 2:6-8

Common English Bible

⁶ The gates of the rivers are opened;
        the palace melts.
⁷ It is decreed:^[a] She is sent into exile, carried away,
    while her female servants moan like doves, beating their breasts.
⁸ Nineveh has been like a pool of water.
        Such are its waters,^[b] and others are fleeing.
            “Stop, stop!”—but no one can turn them back.
