Nahum 2:5-7

5He remembers his 1officers; They 2stumble in their advance, They hurry to her wall, And the 3mantelet is set up.6The gates of the rivers are opened And the palace sways back and forth.7It is set: She is stripped, she is led away, And her slave women are 4sobbing like the sound of doves, 5Beating their 6breasts.
