Nahum 2:7

5 He summons his nobles; they stumble as they advance. They race to its wall; the protective shield is set in place.

6 The river gates are thrown open and the palace collapses.

It is decreed that the city be exiled and carried away; her maidservants moan like doves, and beat upon their breasts.

8 Nineveh has been like a pool of water throughout her days, but now it is draining away. “Stop! Stop!” they cry, but no one turns back.

9 “Plunder the silver! Plunder the gold!” There is no end to the treasure, an abundance of every precious thing.

Dette ble sagt til Israel i en bestemt tid, så det er lurt å lese det sammen med teksten rundt. Les gjerne versene rundt også, for sammenhengen gir ofte mer enn ett vers alene.
