Nahum 3:1–3:10

3Ah! City of bloodshed, utterly deceitful, full of booty— no end to the plunder! 2The crack of whip and rumble of wheel, galloping horse and bounding chariot! 3Horsemen charging, flashing sword and glittering spear, piles of dead, heaps of corpses, dead bodies without end— they stumble over the bodies! 4Because of the countless debaucheries of the prostitute, gracefully alluring, mistress of sorcery, who enslaves nations through her debaucheries, and peoples through her sorcery, 5I am against you, says the Lord of hosts, and will lift up your skirts over your face; and I will let nations look on your nakedness and kingdoms on your shame. 6I will throw filth at you and treat you with contempt, and make you a spectacle. 7Then all who see you will shrink from you and say, “Nineveh is devastated; who will bemoan her?” Where shall I seek comforters for you?

8Are you better than Thebes that sat by the Nile, with water around her, her rampart a sea, water her wall? 9Ethiopia was her strength, Egypt too, and that without limit; Put and the Libyans were her helpers. 10Yet she became an exile, she went into captivity; even her infants were dashed in pieces at the head of every street; lots were cast for her nobles, all her dignitaries were bound in fetters.
