Nahum 2:5-7
International Standard Version
5 He will remember to summon[a] his finest troops.
They will stumble on their way,
hurrying over to Nineveh’s[b] wall.
Their defensive shield is in place.
6 The river gates will be opened,
and the palace will collapse.
7 It has been determined:
The woman[c] is unveiled and sent away,
her servant girls mourn.
Beating their breasts,
they whimper like doves.

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)
