Nahum 2:6 ASV

⁴  The chariots rage in the streets; they rush to and fro in the broad ways: the appearance of them is like torches; they run like the lightnings.

⁵  He remembereth his nobles: they stumble in their march; they make haste to the wall thereof, and the mantelet is prepared.

⁶  The gates of the rivers are opened, and the palace is dissolved.

⁷  And it is decreed: she is uncovered, she is carried away; and her handmaids moan as with the voice of doves, beating upon their breasts.

⁸  But Nineveh hath been from of old like a pool of water: yet they flee away. Stand, stand, `they cry'; but none looketh back.
