Nahum 2:7-9

Tree of Life Version

⁷ The river gates will be opened,
and the palace will melt away.
⁸ What was erected^[a]
    will be exiled and carried away.
Her handmaids are lamenting like the sound of doves,
    beating their breasts.
⁹ Nineveh was like a pool of water for days
    —now they are fleeing.
Stop, stop! Yet no one turns back.
