In context

⁴The chariots dash through the streets; they rush around the plazas, appearing like torches, darting about like lightning.

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

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

⁷It is decreed that the city be exiled and carried away; her maidservants moan like doves, and beat upon their breasts.

⁸Nineveh 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.
