Nahum 3:1-6 ▼

1 Woe to the city of blood, totally deceitful, full of plunder, never without prey.

2 The crack of the whip and rumble of the wheel, galloping horse and jolting chariot!

3 Charging horseman, flashing sword, shining spear; heaps of slain, mounds of corpses, dead bodies without end — they stumble over their dead.

4 Because of the continual prostitution of the prostitute, the attractive mistress of sorcery, who treats nations and clans like merchandise by her prostitution and sorcery,

5 I am against you. This is the declaration of the LORD of Armies. I will lift your skirts over your face and display your nakedness to nations, your shame to kingdoms.

6 I will throw filth on you and treat you with contempt; I will make a spectacle of you.
