Nahum 3 📜 📕

Judgment on Nineveh

1 WOE to thee o city of bloods, all of lying full of tearing: spoil shall not depart from thee.📜💬📚
2 The voice of the whip, and the voice of the violence of the wheel, and of the neighing horse, and of the fervent chariot, and of the horseman mounting.📜💬📚
3 And of the glistering sword, and of the glittering spear, and of a multitude slain, and of a grievous ruin: neither is there an end of corpses, and they shall fall on their bodies.📜💬📚
4 Because of the multitude of the fornications, of the harlot beautiful and grateful, and having sorceries, which hath sold nations in her fornications, and families in her sorceries.📜💬📚
5 Behold I to thee, saith the Lord of hosts: and I will discover thy privy parts in thy face, and will shew to the Gentiles thy nakedness, and to kingdoms thine ignominy.📜💬📚
6 And I will throw upon thee abominations, and will use thee contumeliously, and will put thee for an example.📜💬📚
7 And it shall be, every one that shall see thee, shall leap back from thee, and shall say: Ninive is wasted: who shall shake the head upon thee? Whence shall I seek a comforter for thee?📜💬📚
8 Why, art thou better than Alexandria full of peoples, which dwelleth in the rivers? Waters round about it: whose riches, the sea: waters the walls thereof.📜💬📚
9 Aethiopia the strength of it, and AEgypt, and there is no end: Afrike, and the Libyans have been in thine aid.📜💬📚
10 But she also in transmigration was led into captivity: her little ones were dashed in the head of all ways, and upon her noble ones, they have cast lot, and all her great men were made fast in fetters.📜💬📚
11 Thou also therefore shalt be made drunk, and shalt be despised: and thou shalt seek help of the enemy.📜💬📚
12 All thy munitions as figtrees with their green figs: if they be shaken, they will fall into the mouth of the eater.📜💬📚
13 Behold thy people women in the midst of thee: to thine enemies the gates of thy land with opening shall be opened, fire shall devour thy bars.📜💬📚
14 Draw thee water for the siege, build thy munitions: enter into the clay, and tread, making mortar hold the brick📜💬📚
15 There the fire shall eat thee: thou shalt perish by the sword, as a bruke it shall devour thee: be gathered together as the bruke, be multiplied as the locust.📜💬📚
16 Thou hast made thy merchandises more than are the stars of heaven: the bruke was spread, and flew away.📜💬📚
17 Thy keepers as the locusts: and thy little ones as it were the locusts of locusts, which swarm on the hedges in the day of cold: the sun arose, and they flew away, and their place was not known where they were.📜💬📚
18 Thy pastors slumbered, o king of Assur, thy princes shall be buried, thy people lay hid in the mountains, and there is none to gather them together.📜💬📚
19 Thy destruction is not obscure, thy plague is very sore: all that have heard the same of thee, have clapped the hand upon thee: for upon whom hath not thy malice passed always?📜💬📚
