Nahum 2:6

New International Version

The river gates are thrown open and the palace collapses.

See the chapter Copy

Nineveh summons her picked troops, yet they stumble on their way. They dash to the city wall; the protective shield is put in place.

It is decreed that Nineveh be exiled and carried away. Her female slaves moan like doves and beat on their breasts.

Look at your troops— they are all weaklings. The gates of your land are wide open to your enemies; fire has consumed the bars of your gates.
