Nahum 3:2-7
New King James Version
2 The noise of a whip
And the noise of rattling wheels,
Of galloping horses,
Of [a]clattering chariots!
3 Horsemen charge with bright sword and glittering spear.
There is a multitude of slain,
A great number of bodies,
Countless corpses—
They stumble over the corpses—
4 Because of the multitude of [b]harlotries of the [c]seductive harlot,
(A)The mistress of sorceries,
Who sells nations through her harlotries,
And families through her sorceries.
5 “Behold, I am (B)against you,” says the Lord of hosts;
(C)“I will lift your skirts over your face,
I will show the nations your nakedness,
And the kingdoms your shame.
6 I will cast abominable filth upon you,
Make you (D)vile,[d]
And make you (E)a spectacle.
7 It shall come to pass that all who look upon you
(F)Will flee from you, and say,
(G)‘Nineveh is laid waste!
(H)Who will bemoan her?’
Where shall I seek comforters for you?”
