Nahum 3:1 Woe1945 to the bloody1818 city!5892{Heb. city of bloods} it is all full4392 of lies3585and robbery;6563 the prey2964 departeth4185 not;
2 The noise6963 of a whip,7752 and the noise6963 of the rattling7494 of the wheels,212 and of the pransing1725 horses,5483 and of the jumping7540 chariots.48183 The horseman6571 lifteth up5927 both the bright3851 sword2719 and the glittering1300 spear:2595{Heb. the flame of the sword and the lightning of the spear} and thereis a multitude7230 of slain,2491 and a great3514 number of carcases;6297 and thereis none end7097 of their corpses;1472 they stumble37823782 upon their corpses:14724 Because of the multitude7230 of the whoredoms2183 of the wellfavoured28962580 harlot,2181 the mistress1172 of witchcrafts,3785 that selleth4376 nations1471 through her whoredoms,2183 and families4940 through her witchcrafts.37855 Behold, I am against thee, saith5002 the LORD3068 of hosts;6635 and I will discover1540 thy skirts7757 upon thy face,6440 and I will shew7200 the nations1471 thy nakedness,4626 and the kingdoms4467 thy shame.70366 And I will cast7993 abominable filth8251 upon thee, and make thee vile,5034 and will set7760 thee as a gazingstock.72107 And it shall come to pass, that all they that look7200 upon thee shall flee5074 from thee, and say,559 Nineveh5210 is laid waste:7703 who will bemoan5110 her? whence370 shall I seek1245 comforters5162 for thee?
Nahum 3:8 Art thou better3190 than populous527528 No,4996{Or, nourishing. Heb. No Amon} that was situate3427 among the rivers,2975thathad the waters4325 round about5439 it, whose rampart2426was the sea,3220and her wall2346was from the sea?32209 Ethiopia3568 and Egypt4714were her strength,6109 and itwas infinite;3697097 Put6316 and Lubim3864 were thy helpers.5833{Heb. in thy help}10 Yet was she carried away,1473 she went1980 into captivity:7628 her young children5768 also were dashed in pieces7376 at the top7218 of all the streets:2351 and they cast3032 lots1486 for her honourable men,3513 and all her great men1419 were bound7576 in chains.213111 Thou also shalt be drunken:7937 thou shalt be hid,5956 thou also shalt seek1245 strength4581 because of the enemy.34112 All thy strong holds4013shallbelike fig trees8384 with the firstripe figs:1061 if they be shaken,5128 they shall even fall5307 into the mouth6310 of the eater.39813 Behold, thy people5971 in the midst7130 of thee are women:802 the gates8179 of thy land776 shall be set wide6605 open6605 unto thine enemies:341 the fire784 shall devour398 thy bars.128014 Draw7579 thee waters4325 for the siege,4692 fortify2388 thy strong holds:4013 go935 into clay,2916 and tread7429 the morter,2563 make strong2388 the brickkiln.440415 There shall the fire784 devour398 thee; the sword2719 shall cut thee off,3772 it shall eat thee up398 like the cankerworm:3218 make thyself many3513 as the cankerworm,3218 make thyself many3513 as the locusts.69716 Thou hast multiplied7235 thy merchants7402 above the stars3556 of heaven:8064 the cankerworm3218 spoileth,6584{Or, spreadeth himself} and flieth away.577417 Thy crowned4502are as the locusts,697 and thy captains2951 as the great grasshoppers,1462 which camp2583 in the hedges1448 in the cold7135 day,3117but when the sun8121 ariseth2224 they flee away,5074 and their place4725 is not known3045 where335 they are.18 Thy shepherds7462 slumber,5123 O king4428 of Assyria:804 thy nobles117{Or, valiant ones} shall dwell7931inthedust: thy people5971 is scattered6335 upon the mountains,2022 and no man gathereth6908them.19Thereis no healing3545{Heb. wrinkling} of thy bruise;7667 thy wound4347 is grievous:2470 all that hear8085 the bruit8088 of thee shall clap8628 the hands3709 over thee: for upon whom hath not thy wickedness7451 passed5674 continually?8548
