Nahum 2:6-8

Christian Standard Bible Anglicised

⁷ Beauty^[a] is stripped;^[b]
she is carried away;
her ladies-in-waiting moan
like the sound of doves^(B)
and beat their breasts.^(C)
8 Nineveh has been like a pool of water
from her first days,^[c]
but they are fleeing.
‘Stop! Stop! ’ they cry,
but no one turns back.
