Nahum 2:6-8

EasyEnglish Bible

⁶ They open the river gates and the water rushes into the city. It destroys the palace. ⁷ Nineveh's people must be led away to another country. They are ashamed. Her female slaves cry like doves and they hit themselves.

⁸ Nineveh is like a pool of water. But now its people run away, like water that is pouring away. ‘Stop, stop!’ they shout, but nobody comes back.
