Nahum 2:3 (NLT) New Living Translation

1 Your enemy is coming to crush you, Nineveh. Man the ramparts! Watch the roads! Prepare your defenses! Call out your forces!
2 Even though the destroyer has destroyed Judah, the LORD will restore its honor. Israel's vine has been stripped of branches, but he will restore its splendor.
3 Shields flash red in the sunlight! See the scarlet uniforms of the valiant troops! Watch as their glittering chariots move into position, with a forest of spears waving above them.
4 The chariots race recklessly along the streets and rush wildly through the squares. They flash like firelight and move as swiftly as lightning.
5 The king shouts to his officers; they stumble in their haste, rushing to the walls to set up their defenses.
6 The river gates have been torn open! The palace is about to collapse!
7 Nineveh's exile has been decreed, and all the servant girls mourn its capture. They moan like doves and beat their breasts in sorrow.
8 Nineveh is like a leaking water reservoir! The people are slipping away. "Stop, stop!" someone shouts, but no one even looks back.
9 Loot the silver! Plunder the gold! There's no end to Nineveh's treasures-- its vast, uncounted wealth.
10 Soon the city is plundered, empty, and ruined. Hearts melt and knees shake. The people stand aghast, their faces pale and trembling.
11 Where now is that great Nineveh, that den filled with young lions? It was a place where people-- like lions and their cubs-- walked freely and without fear.
12 The lion tore up meat for his cubs and strangled prey for his mate. He filled his den with prey, his caverns with his plunder.
13 "I am your enemy!" says the LORD of Heaven's Armies. "Your chariots will soon go up in smoke. Your young men will be killed in battle. Never again will you plunder conquered nations. The voices of your proud messengers will be heard no more."
1 He that dasheth in pieces H6327 is come up H5927 before H5921 thy face: H6440 keep H5341 the munition, H4694 watch H6822 the way, H1870 make thy loins strong H2388 H4975 , fortify H553 thy power H3581 mightily. H3966
2 For H3588 the LORD H3068 hath turned away H7725 H853 the excellency H1347 of Jacob, H3290 as the excellency H1347 of Israel: H3478 for H3588 the emptiers H1238 have emptied H1238 them out , and marred H7843 their vine branches. H2156
3 The shield H4043 of his mighty men H1368 is made red, H119 the valiant H2428 men H376 are in scarlet: H8529 the chariots H7393 shall be with flaming H784 torches H6393 in the day H3117 of his preparation, H3559 and the fir trees H1265 shall be terribly shaken. H7477
4 The chariots H7393 shall rage H1984 in the streets, H2351 they shall jostle one against another H8264 in the broad ways: H7339 they shall seem H4758 like torches, H3940 they shall run H7323 like the lightnings. H1300
5 He shall recount H2142 his worthies: H117 they shall stumble H3782 in their walk; H1979 they shall make haste H4116 to the wall H2346 thereof , and the defense H5526 shall be prepared. H3559
6 The gates H8179 of the rivers H5104 shall be opened, H6605 and the palace H1964 shall be dissolved. H4127
7 And Huzzab H5324 shall be led away captive, H1540 she shall be brought up, H5927 and her maids H519 shall lead H5090 her as with the voice H6963 of doves, H3123 taboring H8608 upon H5921 their breasts. H3824
8 But Nineveh H5210 is of old H4480 H3117 like a pool H1295 of water: H4325 yet they H1992 shall flee away. H5127 Stand, H5975 stand, H5975 shall they cry ; but none H369 shall look back. H6437
9 Take ye the spoil H962 of silver, H3701 take the spoil H962 of gold: H2091 for there is none H369 end H7097 of the store H8498 and glory H3519 out of all H4480 H3605 the pleasant H2532 furniture. H3627
10 She is empty, H950 and void, H4003 and waste: H1110 and the heart H3820 melteth, H4549 and the knees H1290 smite together, H6375 and much pain H2479 is in all H3605 loins, H4975 and the faces H6440 of them all H3605 gather H6908 blackness. H6289
11 Where H346 is the dwelling H4583 of the lions, H738 and the feeding place H4829 of the young lions, H3715 where H834 H8033 the lion, H738 even the old lion, H3833 walked, H1980 and the lion's H738 whelp, H1482 and none H369 made them afraid H2729 ?
12 The lion H738 did tear in pieces H2963 enough H1767 for his whelps, H1484 and strangled H2614 for his lionesses, H3833 and filled H4390 his holes H2356 with prey, H2964 and his dens H4585 with ravin. H2966
13 Behold H2009 , I am against H413 thee, saith H5002 the LORD H3068 of hosts, H6635 and I will burn H1197 her chariots H7393 in the smoke, H6227 and the sword H2719 shall devour H398 thy young lions: H3715 and I will cut off H3772 thy prey H2964 from the earth H4480 H776 , and the voice H6963 of thy messengers H4397 shall no H3808 more H5750 be heard. H8085
