Nahum 3:2-19

3:2

The noise
<06963>

of a whip
<07752>_,

and the noise
<06963>

of the rattling
<07494>

of the wheels
<0212>_,

and of the pransing
<01725> (8802)

horses
<05483>_,

and of the jumping
<07540> (8764)

chariots
<04818>_.

3:3

The horseman
<06571>

lifteth up
<05927> (8688)

both the bright
<03851>

sword
<02719>

and the glittering
<01300>

spear
<02595>_:

and [there is] a multitude
<07230>

of slain
<02491>_,

and a great
<03514>

number of carcases
<06297>_;

and [there is] none end
<07097>

of [their] corpses
<01472>_;

they stumble
<03782> (8804) (8675) <03782> (8735)

upon their corpses
<01472>_:

{the bright...: Heb. the flame of the sword, and the lightning of the spear}

3:4

Because of the multitude
<07230>

of the whoredoms
<02183>

of the wellfavoured
<02896> <02580>

harlot
<02181> (8802)_,

the mistress
<01172>

of witchcrafts
<03785>_,

that selleth
<04376> (8802)

nations
<01471>

through her whoredoms
<02183>_,

and families
<04940>

through her witchcrafts
<03785>_.

3:5

Behold, I [am] against thee, saith
<05002> (8803)

the LORD
<03068>

of hosts
<06635>_;

and I will discover
<01540> (8765)

thy skirts
<07757>

upon thy face
<06440>_,

and I will shew
<07200> (8689)

the nations
<01471>

thy nakedness
<04626>_,

and the kingdoms
<04467>

thy shame
<07036>_.

3:6

And I will cast
<07993> (8689)

abominable filth
<08251>

upon thee, and make thee vile
<05034> (8765)_,

and will set
<07760> (8804)

thee as a gazingstock
<07210>_.

3:7

And it shall come to pass, [that] all they that look
<07200> (8802)

upon thee shall flee
<05074> (8799)

from thee, and say
<0559> (8804)_,

Nineveh
<05210>

is laid waste
<07703> (8795)_:

who will bemoan
<05110> (8799)

her? whence
<0370>

shall I seek
<01245> (8762)

comforters
<05162> (8764)

for thee?

3:8

Art thou better
<03190> (8686)

than populous
<0527> (8675) <0528>

No
<04996>_,

that was situate
<03427> (8802)

among the rivers
<02975>_,

[that had] the waters
<04325>

round about
<05439>

it, whose rampart
<02426>

[was] the sea
<03220>_,

[and] her wall
<02346>

[was] from the sea
<03220>_?

{populous...: or, nourishing, etc: Heb. No Amon}

3:9

Ethiopia
<03568>

and Egypt
<04714>

[were] her strength
<06109>_,

and [it was] infinite
<0369> <07097>_;

Put
<06316>

and Lubim
<03864>

were thy helpers
<05833>_.

{thy helpers: Heb. in thy help}

3:10

Yet [was] she carried away
<01473>_,

she went
<01980> (8804)

into captivity
<07628>_:

her young children
<05768>

also were dashed in pieces
<07376> (8792)

at the top
<07218>

of all the streets
<02351>_:

and they cast
<03032> (8804)

lots
<01486>

for her honourable men
<03513> (8737)_,

and all her great men
<01419>

were bound
<07576> (8795)

in chains
<02131>_.

3:11

Thou also shalt be drunken
<07937> (8799)_:

thou shalt be hid
<05956> (8737)_,

thou also shalt seek
<01245> (8762)

strength
<04581>

because of the enemy
<0341> (8802)_.

3:12

All thy strong holds
<04013>

[shall be like] fig trees
<08384>

with the firstripe figs
<01061>_:

if they be shaken
<05128> (8735)_,

they shall even fall
<05307> (8804)

into the mouth
<06310>

of the eater
<0398> (8802)_.

3:13

Behold, thy people
<05971>

in the midst
<07130>

of thee [are] women
<0802>_:

the gates
<08179>

of thy land
<0776>

shall be set wide
<06605> (8800)

open
<06605> (8738)

unto thine enemies
<0341> (8802)_:

the fire
<0784>

shall devour
<0398> (8804)

thy bars
<01280>_.

3:14

Draw
<07579> (8798)

thee waters
<04325>

for the siege
<04692>_,

fortify
<02388> (8761)

thy strong holds
<04013>_:

go
<0935> (8798)

into clay
<02916>_,

and tread
<07429> (8798)

the morter
<02563>_,

make strong
<02388> (8685)

the brickkiln
<04404>_.

3:15

There shall the fire
<0784>

devour
<0398> (8799)

thee; the sword
<02719>

shall cut thee off
<03772> (8686)_,

it shall eat thee up
<0398> (8799)

like the cankerworm
<03218>_:

make thyself many
<03513> (8690)

as the cankerworm
<03218>_,

make thyself many
<03513> (8690)

as the locusts
<0697>_.

3:16

Thou hast multiplied
<07235> (8689)

thy merchants
<07402> (8802)

above the stars
<03556>

of heaven
<08064>_:

the cankerworm
<03218>

spoileth
<06584> (8804)_,

and flieth away
<05774> (8799)_.

{spoileth: or, spreadeth himself}

3:17

Thy crowned
<04502>

[are] as the locusts
<0697>_,

and thy captains
<02951>

as the great grasshoppers
<01462>_,

which camp
<02583> (8802)

in the hedges
<01448>

in the cold
<07135>

day
<03117>_,

[but] when the sun
<08121>

ariseth
<02224> (8804)

they flee away
<05074> (8776)_,

and their place
<04725>

is not known
<03045> (8738)

where
<0335>

they [are].

3:18

Thy shepherds
<07462> (8802)

slumber
<05123> (8804)_,

O king
<04428>

of Assyria
<0804>_:

thy nobles
<0117>

shall dwell
<07931> (8799)

[in the dust]: thy people
<05971>

is scattered
<06335> (8738)

upon the mountains
<02022>_,

and no man gathereth
<06908> (8764)

[them]. {nobles: or, valiant ones}

3:19

[There is] no healing
<03545>

of thy bruise
<07667>_;

thy wound
<04347>

is grievous
<02470> (8737)_:

all that hear
<08085> (8802)

the bruit
<08088>

of thee shall clap
<08628> (8804)

the hands
<03709>

over thee: for upon whom hath not thy wickedness
<07451>

passed
<05674> (8804)

continually
<08548>_?

{healing: Heb. wrinkling}
