Nahum 2:7
Huzzab - The queen. The voice of doves - Sighing out their complaints. Upon their breasts - Instead of musical instruments, on which they were used to play, now they only strike their breasts.
5 He remembers his nobles;
They stumble in their walk;
They make haste to her walls,
And the defense is prepared.
They stumble in their walk;
They make haste to her walls,
And the defense is prepared.
7 1It is decreed:
She shall be led away captive,
She shall be brought up;
And her maidservants shall lead her as with the voice of doves,
Beating their breasts.
She shall be led away captive,
She shall be brought up;
And her maidservants shall lead her as with the voice of doves,
Beating their breasts.
8 Though Nineveh of old was like a pool of water,
Now they flee away.
1“Halt! Halt!” they cry;
But no one turns back.
Now they flee away.
1“Halt! Halt!” they cry;
But no one turns back.
9 1Take spoil of silver!
Take spoil of agold!
There is no end of treasure,
Or wealth of every desirable prize.
Take spoil of agold!
There is no end of treasure,
Or wealth of every desirable prize.
