Nahum 2:7 in Context — Nahum 2

5 Les chars s’élancent dans la campagne, Se précipitent sur les places; A les voir, on dirait des flambeaux, Ils courent comme des éclairs…

6 Il se souvient de ses vaillants hommes, Mais ils chancellent dans leur marche; On se hâte vers les murs, Et l’on se prépare à la défense…

7 Les portes des fleuves sont ouvertes, Et le palais s’écroule!…

8 C’en est fait: elle est mise à nu, elle est emmenée; Ses servantes gémissent comme des colombes, Et se frappent la poitrine.

9 Ninive était jadis comme un réservoir plein d’eau… Les voilà qui fuient… Arrêtez! Arrêtez!… Mais nul ne se retourne…
