Nahum 2:5-7
New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition
5 He calls his officers;
they stumble as they come forward;
they hasten to the wall,
and the screen[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.(A)
