Nahum 2:5-7
Darby Translation
5 He bethinketh him of his nobles: they stumble in their march; they make haste to the wall thereof, and the shelter is prepared.
6 The gates of the rivers are opened, and the palace melteth away.
7 And it is decreed: she shall be uncovered, she shall be led away, and her maids shall moan as with the voice of doves, drumming upon their breasts.

Nahum 2:5-7
New International Version
5 Nineveh summons her picked troops,
yet they stumble(A) on their way.
They dash to the city wall;
the protective shield is put in place.
6 The river gates(B) are thrown open
and the palace collapses.
7 It is decreed[a] that Nineveh
be exiled and carried away.
Her female slaves moan(C) like doves
and beat on their breasts.(D)
