Nahum 2:5-7
Modern English Version
5 He remembers his officers
as they stumble about on the road;
they hurry on to the wall
as the siege tower is set up.
6 The holding gates are opened wide,
and the palace washes away.
7 It is decreed:
She is uncovered and led away captive;
her handmaidens shall lead her as with the voice of doves,
beating their chests.

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)
