1 Woe to this city, contaminated with shed blood, all full of lies and robberies— it is never without victims! 2 The crack of whips and the clamor of wheels! The galloping horses and the bounding chariots! 3 The cavalry attacks— the flashing sword and the glittering spear! Many are the slain— so many casualties!— No end to bodies, and the soldiers trip over the corpses. 4 Innumerable are the harlotries of this well-favored whore, this mistress of witchcraft, who enslaves nations through her fornication and families through her sorcery. 5 |Look, I am against you,| declares the LORD of the Heavenly Armies, |so I will pull up your dress over your face. I will show your nakedness to the nations, and your disgrace to the kingdoms. 6 I will hurl abominable filth upon you, making you look foolish, and making an example of you. 7 It will be that everyone who looks at you will run away, saying, 'Nineveh has been violently overthrown! Who will mourn for her? Where will I find anyone to comfort you?'| Nahum 3:1-7, Intl. Standard Version. Copyright © 1995-2014 by ISV Foundation.
