Nahum

Chapter 3

1 WOE to the bloody city! it is all full of lies and iniquity; the plunder in it cannot be estimated.

2 The noise of the whip and the noise of rattling of the wheels and of the snorting of horses and of bounding chariots!

3 The horseman driving, with the flash of the sword and the glittering spear! And there is a multitude of slain, and a great number of corpses; there is no end to corpses; they stumble over their corpses.

4 Because of the multitude of the whoredoms of the harlot that was beautiful and mistress of witchcrafts, who brings up nations through her whoredoms and tribes through her witchcraft,

5 Behold, I am against you, says the LORD of hosts; and I will raise your skirts over your face and will show the nations your nakedness and the kingdoms your shame.

6 And I will cast filth upon you and disgrace you, and will make you a spectacle,

7 And it shall come to pass that all who look upon you shall abhor you and say, Nineveh is plundered; who will bemoan her? Whence shall I seek a comforter for you?

8 Are you better than Jawan of Ammon, which is situated by the rivers, that had waters round about her, whose rampart was the sea, and water her wall?

9 Ethiopia and Egypt were her strength, and it was limitless; Put and the Libyans were her helpers;

10 Yet even she was carried away into captivity; her children were dashed in pieces at the head of all the streets; and they cast lots for her honorable men, and all her great men were bound in chains.

11 You also shall be grieved and you shall be despised; you also shall seek help because of your enemies.

12 All your strongholds shall be like fig trees with the first ripe figs; when they are ripe, they fall into the mouth of the eater.

13 Behold, your people in the midst of you are cowards; they will open the gates of your land to your enemies; the fire shall devour your bars.

14 Draw water for the siege, fortify your strongholds; mix the clay, tread the mortar, strengthen the foundations.

15 There shall the fire devour you, the sword shall cut you off; it shall devour you like the crawling locust because you have become many like the crawling locust and multiplied like the locust.

16 You have multiplied your merchants more than the stars of the heaven; the young locust swarms and flies away.

17 Your Nazarites are as the locusts, and your warriors as the swarms of locusts which settle on the hedges on a cold day, but when the sun arises they fly off, and it is not known where they are.

18 Your friends slumber, O king of Assyria; your allies have deserted; your people are scattered on the mountains, and they have none to gather them.

19 There is no one to grieve over your wound; your wound is painful; all who hear the news of you clap their hands over you; for your wickedness has gone forth against every man continually.

1 Woe1945 to the bloody1818 city!5892 it is all3605 full4392 of lies3585 and robbery;6563 the prey2964 departs4185 not;

2 The noise6963 of a whip,7752 and the noise6963 of the rattling7494 of the wheels,212 and of the prancing1725 horses,5483 and of the jumping7540 chariots.4818

3 The horseman6571 lifts5927 up both the bright3851 sword2719 and the glittering1300 spear:2595 and there is a multitude7230 of slain,2491 and a great3514 number of carcasses;6297 and there is none369 end7097 of their corpses;1472 they stumble3782 on their corpses:1472

4 Because of the multitude7230 of the prostitutions2183 of the well favored2896 2580 harlot,2181 the mistress1172 of witchcrafts,3785 that sells4376 nations1471 through her prostitutions,2183 and families4940 through her witchcrafts.3785

5 Behold,2005 I am against413 you, said5002 the LORD3068 of hosts;6635 and I will discover1540 your skirts7757 on your face,6440 and I will show7200 the nations1471 your nakedness,4626 and the kingdoms4467 your shame.7036

6 And I will cast7993 abominable8251 filth on you, and make you vile,5034 and will set7760 you as a spectacle.7210

7 And it shall come1961 to pass, that all3605 they that look7200 on you shall flee5074 from you, and say,559 Nineveh5210 is laid waste:7703 who4310 will bemoan5110 her? from where370 shall I seek1245 comforters5162 for you?

8 Are you better3190 than populous527 No,4996 that was situate3427 among the rivers,2975 that had the waters4325 round5439 about it, whose834 rampart2426 was the sea,3220 and her wall2346 was from the sea?3220

9 Ethiopia3568 and Egypt4714 were her strength,6109 and it was infinite;7097 Put6316 and Lubim3864 were your helpers.5833

10 Yet1571 was she carried1473 away,1473 she went1980 into captivity:7628 her young children5768 also1571 were dashed7376 in pieces at the top7218 of all3605 the streets:2351 and they cast3032 lots1486 for her honorable3513 men, and all3605 her great1419 men were bound7576 in chains.2131

11 You also1571 shall be drunken:7937 you shall be hid,5956 you also1571 shall seek1245 strength4581 because of the enemy.341

12 All3605 your strong4013 holds4013 shall be like fig8384 trees with the first ripe1063 figs: if518 they be shaken,5128 they shall even fall5307 into5921 the mouth6310 of the eater.398

13 Behold,2009 your people5971 in the middle7130 of you are women:802 the gates8179 of your land776 shall be set wide6605 open6605 to your enemies:341 the fire784 shall devour398 your bars.1280

14 Draw7579 you waters4325 for the siege,4692 fortify2388 your strong4013 holds:4013 go935 into clay,2916 and tread7429 the mortar,2563 make strong2388 the brick kiln.4404

15 There8033 shall the fire784 devour398 you; the sword2719 shall cut3772 you off, it shall eat398 you up like the cankerworm:3218 make yourself many3513 as the cankerworm,3218 make yourself many3513 as the locusts.697

16 You have multiplied7235 your merchants7402 above the stars3556 of heaven:8064 the cankerworm3218 spoils,6584 and flees5775 away.

17 Your crowned4502 are as the locusts,697 and your captains2951 as the great1462 grasshoppers,1462 which camp2583 in the hedges1448 in the cold7135 day,3117 but when the sun8121 rises2224 they flee5074 away, and their place4725 is not known3045 where335 they are.

18 Your shepherds7462 slumber,5123 O king4428 of Assyria:804 your nobles117 shall dwell7931 in the dust: your people5971 is scattered6340 on the mountains,2022 and no369 man gathers6908 them.

19 There is no369 healing3545 of your bruise;7667 your wound4347 is grievous:2470 all3605 that hear8085 the bruit8088 of you shall clap8628 the hands3709 over5921 you: for on whom4310 has not your wickedness7451 passed5674 continually?8548

11 You also shall be grieved and you shall be despised; you also shall seek help because of your enemies.

11 You also1571 shall be drunken:7937 you shall be hid,5956 you also1571 shall seek1245 strength4581 because of the enemy.341

15 There shall the fire devour you, the sword shall cut you off; it shall devour you like the crawling locust because you have become many like the crawling locust and multiplied like the locust.

15 There8033 shall the fire784 devour398 you; the sword2719 shall cut3772 you off, it shall eat398 you up like the cankerworm:3218 make yourself many3513 as the cankerworm,3218 make yourself many3513 as the locusts.697

16 You have multiplied your merchants more than the stars of the heaven; the young locust swarms and flies away.

16 You have multiplied7235 your merchants7402 above the stars3556 of heaven:8064 the cankerworm3218 spoils,6584 and flees5775 away.

17 Your Nazarites are as the locusts, and your warriors as the swarms of locusts which settle on the hedges on a cold day, but when the sun arises they fly off, and it is not known where they are.

17 Your crowned4502 are as the locusts,697 and your captains2951 as the great1462 grasshoppers,1462 which camp2583 in the hedges1448 in the cold7135 day,3117 but when the sun8121 rises2224 they flee5074 away, and their place4725 is not known3045 where335 they are.
