Nahum 2:5-7 Holy Bible: Easy-To-Read Version (ETR)

5. The enemy calls for his best soldiers. They stumble as they rush ahead. They run to the wall and set up their shield over the battering ram.

6. But the gates by the rivers are open, and the enemy comes flooding in and destroys the king’s palace.

7. The enemy takes away the queen, and her slave girls moan sadly like doves. They beat their breasts to show their sadness.
