Nahum 2:4-7
New American Standard Bible
Chapter 2
4The chariots drive wildly in the streets, They rush around in the public squares; Their appearance is like torches, They drive back and forth like lightning flashes. 5He remembers his officers; They stumble in their advance, They hurry to her wall, And the mantelet is set up. 6The gates of the rivers are opened And the palace sways back and forth. 7It is set: She is stripped, she is led away, And her slave women are sobbing like the sound of doves, Beating their breasts.King James Version
Chapter 2
4The chariots shall rage in the streets, they shall justle one against another in the broad ways: they shall seem like torches, they shall run like the lightnings. 5He shall recount his worthies: they shall stumble in their walk; they shall make haste to the wall thereof, and the defence shall be prepared. 6The gates of the rivers shall be opened, and the palace shall be dissolved. 7And Huzzab shall be led away captive, she shall be brought up, and her maids shall lead her as with the voice of doves, tabering upon their breasts.Christian Standard Bible
New Living Translation
Chapter 2
4The chariots race recklessly along the streets and rush wildly through the squares. They flash like firelight and move as swiftly as lightning. 5The king shouts to his officers; they stumble in their haste, rushing to the walls to set up their defenses. 6The river gates have been torn open! The palace is about to collapse! 7Nineveh’s exile has been decreed, and all the servant girls mourn its capture. They moan like doves and beat their breasts in sorrow.English Standard Version
Chapter 2
4The chariots race madly through the streets; they rush to and fro through the squares; they gleam like torches; they dart like lightning. 5He remembers his officers; they stumble as they go, they hasten to the wall; the siege tower is set up. 6The river gates are opened; the palace melts away; 7its mistress is stripped; she is carried off, her slave girls lamenting, moaning like doves and beating their breasts.New International Version
Chapter 2
4The chariots storm through the streets, rushing back and forth through the squares. They look like flaming torches; they dart about like lightning. 5Nineveh summons her picked troops, yet they stumble on their way. They dash to the city wall; the protective shield is put in place. 6The river gates are thrown open and the palace collapses. 7It is decreed that Nineveh be exiled and carried away. Her female slaves moan like doves and beat on their breasts.New King James Version
