Nahum 3 :: Webster's Bible (WEB)

Nineveh's Complete Ruin

Nah 3:1Woe to the bloody city! it is all full of lies and robberies; the prey departeth not;

Nah 3:2The noise of a whip, and the noise of the rattling of the wheels, and of the prancing horses, and of the bounding chariots.

Nah 3:3

Nah 3:3The horseman lifteth up both the bright sword, and the glittering spear: and there is a multitude of slain, and a great number of carcasses; and there is no end of their corpses; they stumble upon their corpses:

Nah 3:4

Nah 3:4Because of the multitude of the lewd deeds of the well-favored harlot, the mistress of witchcrafts, that selleth nations through her lewd deeds, and families through her witchcrafts.

Nah 3:5

Nah 3:5Behold, I am against thee, saith the LORD of hosts; and I will remove thy skirts upon thy face, and I will show the nations thy nakedness, and the kingdoms thy shame.

Nah 3:6

Nah 3:6And I will cast abominable filth upon thee, and make thee vile, and will set thee as a gazing-stock.

Nah 3:7

Nah 3:7And it shall come to pass, that all they that look upon thee shall flee from thee, and say, Nineveh is laid waste: who will bemoan her; whence shall I seek comforters for thee?

Nah 3:8

Nah 3:8Art thou better than populous No, that was situated among the rivers, that had the waters around it, whose rampart was the sea, and her wall was from the sea?

Nah 3:9

Nah 3:9Cush and Egypt were her strength, and it was infinite; Put and Lubim were thy helpers.

Nah 3:10

Nah 3:10Yet was she carried away, she went into captivity: her young children also 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.

Nah 3:11

Nah 3:11Thou also shalt be drunken: thou shalt be hid, thou also shalt seek strength because of the enemy.

Nah 3:12

Nah 3:12All thy strong holds shall be like fig-trees with the first ripe figs: if they be shaken, they shall even fall into the mouth of the eater.

Nah 3:13

Nah 3:13Behold, thy people in the midst of thee are women: the gates of thy land shall be set wide open to thy enemies: the fire shall devour thy bars.

Nah 3:14

Nah 3:14Draw thee waters for the siege, fortify thy strong holds: go into clay, and tread the mortar, make strong the brick-kiln.

Nah 3:15

Nah 3:15There shall the fire devour thee; the sword shall cut thee off, it shall eat thee up like the canker-worm: make thyself many as the canker-worm, make thyself many as the locusts.

Nah 3:16

Nah 3:16Thou hast multiplied thy merchants above the stars of heaven: the canker-worm spoileth, and flieth away.

Nah 3:17

Nah 3:17Thy crowned are as the locusts, and thy captains as the great grasshoppers, which settle in the hedges in the cold day, but when the sun ariseth they flee away, and their place is not known where they are.

Nah 3:18

Nah 3:18Thy shepherds slumber, O king of Assyria: thy nobles shall dwell in the dust: thy people are scattered upon the mountains, and no man gathereth them.

Nah 3:19

Nah 3:19There is no healing of thy bruise; thy wound is grievous: all that hear the fame of thee shall clap the hands over thee: for upon whom hath not thy wickedness passed continually?
