Nahum 2:6-8

GOD’S WORD Translation

⁶ The gates of the rivers are opened, and the palace melts away.

⁷ The Lord has determined:
“It will be stripped.
It will be carried away.
Its young women will be mourning like doves
as they beat their breasts.”
⁸ Nineveh was like a pool of water from its first day on.
But now its people are fleeing.
“Stop! Stop!”
But no one turns around.
