Nahum 3

Nineveh's Complete Ruin

1

 aWoeh1945 to the bloodyh1818 cityh5892b, completelyh3605 fullh4392 of liesh3585 and pillageh6563; Her preyh2964 neverh3808 departsh4185.

2

The  anoiseh6963 of the whiph7752, The noiseh6963 of the rattlingh7494 of the wheelh212, Gallopingh1725 horsesh5483b And  1boundingh7540 chariotsh4818!

3

Horsemenh6571b chargingh5927, Swordsh2719 flashingh3851,  aspearsh2595 gleamingh1300,  bManyh7230 slainh2491a, a massh3514 of corpsesh6297, And  1 ccountlessh369h7097b deadh1472a bodiesh1472a-- They stumbleh3782 over  2the deadh1472a bodiesh1472a!

4

All becauseh4480 of the  amanyh7230 harlotriesh2183 of the harloth2181, The charmingh2580h2896a oneh2896a, the  bmistressh1172 of sorceriesh3785, Who  csellsh4376 nationsh1471 by her harlotriesh2183 And familiesh4940 by her sorceriesh3785.

5

"Beholdh2009,  aI am againsth413 you," declaresh5002 the LORDh3068 of hostsh6635; "And I will  1 blifth1540 up your skirtsh7757 overh5921 your faceh6440, And  cshowh7200 to the nationsh1471 your nakednessh4626 And to the kingdomsh4467 your disgraceh7036.

6

"I will  athrowh7993  1filthh8251 on you And  bmakeh5034a you vileh5034a, And seth7760 you up as a  cspectacleh7210.

7

"And it will comeh1961 about that allh3605 who seeh7200 you Will  1shrinkh5074 from you and sayh559, `Ninevehh5210 is devastatedh7703!  aWhoh4310 will grieveh5110 for her?' Whereh370 will I seekh1245 comfortersh5162 for you?"

8

Are you betterh3190 thanh4480  1 aNo-amonh4996h528, Which was situatedh3427 by the  bwatersh4325 of the Nileh2975, With waterh4325 surroundingh5439 her, Whoseh834 ramparth2426 was  2the seah3220, Whose wallh2346 consisted of  2the seah3220?

9

 aEthiopiah3568a was her mighth6109, And Egypth4714 too, withouth369 limitsh7097b.  bPuth6316 and  cLubimh3864 were among  1her helpersh5833.

10

Yeth1571 she  abecame an exileh1473, She wenth1980 into captivityh7628b; Alsoh1571 her  bsmall childrenh5768 were dashedh7376 to piecesh7376  cAt the headh7218 of everyh3605 streeth2351; They  dcasth3032 lotsh1486 for her honorableh3513 men, And allh3605 her greath1419 menh1419 were boundh7576 with fettersh2203b.

11

You tooh1571 will becomeh7937  adrunkh7937, You will be  bhiddenh5956. You tooh1571 will searchh1245 for a refugeh4581 from the enemyh340.

12

Allh3605 your fortificationsh4013 are  afigh8384 treesh8384 with  1 bripeh1061 fruith1061-- Whenh518 shakenh5128, they fallh5307 into the eater'sh398 mouthh6310.

13

Beholdh2009, your peopleh5971a are  awomenh802 in your midsth7130! The gatesh8179 of your landh776 are  bopenedh6605a wideh6605a to your enemiesh340; Fireh784 consumesh398 your gate barsh1280.

14

 aDrawh7579 for yourself waterh4325 for the siegeh4692!  bStrengthenh2388 your fortificationsh4013! Goh935 into the clayh2916 and treadh7429 the mortarh2563a! Takeh2388 holdh2388 of the brickh4404 moldh4404!

15

Thereh8033  afireh784 will consumeh398 you, The swordh2719 will cuth3772 you downh3772; It will  bconsumeh398 you as the locusth3218 does. Multiplyh3513 yourself like the creepingh3218 locusth3218, Multiplyh3513 yourself like the swarmingh697 locusth697.

16

You have increasedh7235a your  atradersh7402 moreh4480 thanh4480 the starsh3556 of heavenh8064-- The creepingh3218 locusth3218  1stripsh6584 and fliesh5774a awayh5774a.

17

Your  1 aguardsmenh4502 are like the swarmingh697 locusth697. Your  bmarshalsh2951 are like hordesh1462 of grasshoppersh1462 Settlingh2583 in the stone wallsh1448 on a coldh7135 dayh3117. The sunh8121 risesh2224 and they fleeh5074, And the placeh4725 whereh335 they are is not knownh3045.

18

Your shepherdsh7462a are  asleepingh5123, O  bkingh4428 of Assyriah804b; Your  cnoblesh117 are lyingh7931 downh7931. Your peopleh5971a are  dscatteredh6335b on the mountainsh2022 And thereh369 is noh369 oneh369 to regatherh6908 them.

19

Thereh369 is  anoh369 reliefh3545 for your breakdownh7667, Your  bwoundh4347 is incurableh2470a. Allh3605 who hearh8085  1abouth8088 you Will  cclaph8628 their handsh3709 overh5921 you, For on whomh4310 has not your evilh7463a passedh5674a continuallyh8548?
