Nahum 2:5-7
New Revised Standard Version, Anglicised Catholic Edition
5 He calls his officers;
they stumble as they come forward;
they hasten to the wall,
and the mantelet[a] is set up.
6 The river gates are opened,
the palace trembles.
7 It is decreed[b] that the city[c] be exiled,
its slave-women led away,
moaning like doves
and beating their breasts.

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)
