Nahum 2:5-10

5He remembers his officers; they stumble as they go, they hasten to the wall; the siege tower is set up.

6The river gates are opened; the palace melts away;

7its mistress is stripped; she is carried off, her slave girls lamenting, moaning like doves and beating their breasts.

8Nineveh is like a pool whose waters run away. "Halt! Halt!" they cry, but none turns back.

9Plunder the silver, plunder the gold! There is no end of the treasure or of the wealth of all precious things.

10Desolate! Desolation and ruin! Hearts melt and knees tremble; anguish is in all loins; all faces grow pale!
