1 How horrible it will be for that city of bloody violence! It is completely full of lies and stolen goods-never without victims. 2 The sound of the whip! The sound of rattling wheels! Horses gallop! Chariots bounce along! 3 Horses charge! Swords flash! Spears glitter! Many are killed! Dead bodies pile up! There is no end to the corpses! People trip over corpses 4 because of Nineveh's constant prostitution, this very charming mistress of evil magic. She used to sell nations her prostitution and people her evil magic.| 5 |I am against you, Nineveh,| declares the LORD of Armies. |I will lift up your dress over your face. I will show nations your naked body and kingdoms your disgrace. 6 I will throw filth on you. I will make you look like a fool. I will make you a sight to be seen. 7 Everyone who sees you will run from you, saying, 'Nineveh has been violently destroyed! Who will feel sorry for her?' Where can I find anyone to comfort you?| Nahum 3:1-7, God's Word Translation. Copyright © 1995 by God's Word to the Nations.
