Nahum 2:5-7
Revised Standard Version
5 The officers are summoned,
they stumble as they go,
they hasten to the wall,
the mantelet is set up.
6 The river gates are opened,
the palace is in dismay;
7 its mistress[a] is stripped, she is carried off,
her maidens lamenting,
moaning like doves,
and beating their breasts.
