Nahum 2:6-8
Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition

6 The gates of the rivers are opened, and the temple is thrown down to the ground.

7 And the soldier is led away captive: and her bondwomen were led away mourning as doves, murmuring in their hearts.

8 And as for Ninive, her waters are like a great pool, but the men flee away. They cry: Stand, stand, but there is none that will return back.
