Nahum 2:6-8

New American Standard Bible 1995

⁶ The gates of the rivers are opened
And the palace is dissolved.
⁷ It is fixed:
She is stripped, she is carried away,
And her handmaids are ^(A)moaning like the sound of doves,
^(B)Beating on their ^[a]breasts.

⁸ Though Nineveh was like a pool of water throughout her days,
Now they are fleeing;
“Stop, stop,”
But ^(C)no one turns back.
