NASB Bible (with Strong's Numbers)

Nahum 2

The Overthrow of Nineveh

1

 1The oneh4650 whoh4650  ascattersh4650 has comeh5927 up againsth5921  2you. Manh5341 the fortressh4694, watchh6822 the roadh1870;  3Strengthenh2388 your backh4975,  4summonh553 allh3966 your strengthh3581b.

2

For the LORDh3068 will restoreh7725 the  asplendorh1347b of Jacobh3290  bLike the splendorh1347b of Israelh3478, Even thoughh3588 devastatorsh1238b have devastatedh1238b them And  cdestroyedh7843 their vineh2156 branchesh2156.

3

The shieldsh4043 of  1his mightyh1368 menh1368 are colored redh119, The warriorsh376 are dressedh8529 in  ascarleth8529, The chariotsh7393 are enveloped in  2flashingh784 steelh6393  3Whenh3117 he is preparedh3559 to march, And the cypressh1265  bspears are brandishedh7477.

4

The  achariotsh7393 raceh1984b madlyh1984b in the streetsh2351, They rushh8264 wildlyh8264 in the  1squaresh7339, Their appearanceh4758 is like torchesh3940, They dashh7323 to and froh7323 like lightningh1300 flashesh1300.

5

He remembersh2142 his  anoblesh117; They  bstumbleh3782 in their marchh1979, They hurryh4116 to her wallh2346, And the  1manteleth5527a is seth3559 up.

6

The gatesh8179 of the riversh5104 are openedh6605a And the palaceh1964 is dissolvedh4127.

7

It is fixedh5324: She is strippedh1540, she is carriedh5927 awayh5927, And her handmaidsh519 are  amoaningh5090b like the soundh6963 of dovesh3123,  bBeatingh8608 on their  1breastsh3824.

8

Though Ninevehh5210 was like a poolh1295 of waterh4325 throughouth4480 her daysh3117, Now they are fleeingh5127; "Stoph5975, stoph5975," But  anoh369 oneh369 turnsh6437 backh6437.

9

Plunderh962 the silverh3701! Plunderh962 the  agoldh2091! For thereh369 is noh369 limith7097b to the treasureh8499-- Wealthh3519b from everyh3605 kind of desirableh2532 objecth3627.

10

She is  aemptiedh950! Yes, she is desolateh4003 and wasteh1110!  bHeartsh3820 are meltingh4549 and kneesh1290 knockingh6375! Also anguishh2479 is in  1the wholeh3605 bodyh4975 And allh3605 their  cfacesh6440 are grownh6908 paleh6289!

11

Whereh346 is the denh4583 of the lionsh743b And the feedingh4829 placeh4829 of the  ayoungh3715 lionsh3715, Whereh834h8033 the lionh743b, lionessh3833b and lion'sh743b cubh1482 prowledh1980, With nothingh369 to disturbh2729 them?

12

The lionh743b toreh2963 enoughh1767 for his cubsh1484,  1Killedh2614 enough for his lionessesh3833b, And filledh4390 his lairsh2356 with preyh2964 And his densh4585 with tornh2966 fleshh2966.

13

"Beholdh2009,  aI am againsth413 you," declaresh5002 the LORDh3068 of hostsh6635. "I will  bburnh1197a up her chariotsh7393 in smokeh6227, a swordh2719 will devourh398 your youngh3715 lionsh3715; I will  ccuth3772 offh3772 your preyh2964 from the landh776, and noh3808 longerh5750 will the voiceh6963 of your messengersh4397 be heardh8085."
