Nahum 2:6-8

Complete Jewish Bible

^6 (5) [The king of Ninveh] assigns his officers;
they stumble as they march;
they hurry to its wall and set up shields
to protect the battering ram.
^7 (6) The gates of the rivers are opened,
and the palace melts away.
^8 (7) Its mistress is stripped and carried away;
her handmaids moan, they sound like doves,
as they beat their breasts.
