The gates of the rivers are opened,
And the palace is dissolved.
[a]It is decreed:
She shall be led away captive,
She shall be brought up;
And her maidservants shall lead her as with the voice of doves,
Beating their breasts.

Though Nineveh of old was like a pool of water,
Now they flee away.
[b]“Halt! Halt!” they cry;
But no one turns back.
