Nahum 2:6-8

New Catholic Bible

⁶ His finest troops are summoned
    and rush forward to the attack.
They hasten toward the wall
    and set up the mantelet.
⁷ The river gates are opened
    and the palace trembles.
⁸ The captives are taken into exile
    and its slave girls are carried away,
moaning like doves
    and beating their breasts.
