Nahum 2:5-7

Common English Bible

⁵ He musters his officers;
            they stumble as they press forward.
        They hurry to the city wall,
            and the portable shield is set up.
⁶ The gates of the rivers are opened;
        the palace melts.
⁷ It is decreed:^[a] She is sent into exile, carried away,
    while her female servants moan like doves, beating their breasts.
