Nahum 3:1 (NRSV) New Revised Standard Version

1 Ah! City of bloodshed, utterly deceitful, full of booty-- no end to the plunder!
2 The crack of whip and rumble of wheel, galloping horse and bounding chariot!
3 Horsemen charging, flashing sword and glittering spear, piles of dead, heaps of corpses, dead bodies without end-- they stumble over the bodies!
4 Because of the countless debaucheries of the prostitute, gracefully alluring, mistress of sorcery, who enslaves nations through her debaucheries, and peoples through her sorcery,
5 I 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.
6 I will throw filth at you and treat you with contempt, and make you a spectacle.
7 Then all who see you will shrink from you and say, "Nineveh is devastated; who will bemoan her?" Where shall I seek comforters for you?
8 Are you better than Thebes that sat by the Nile, with water around her, her rampart a sea, water her wall?
9 Ethiopia was her strength, Egypt too, and that without limit; Put and the Libyans were her helpers.
10 Yet 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.
11 You also will be drunken, you will go into hiding; you will seek a refuge from the enemy.
12 All your fortresses are like fig trees with first-ripe figs-- if shaken they fall into the mouth of the eater.
13 Look at your troops: they are women in your midst. The gates of your land are wide open to your foes; fire has devoured the bars of your gates.
14 Draw water for the siege, strengthen your forts; trample the clay, tread the mortar, take hold of the brick mold!
15 There the fire will devour you, the sword will cut you off. It will devour you like the locust. Multiply yourselves like the locust, multiply like the grasshopper!
16 You increased your merchants more than the stars of the heavens. The locust sheds its skin and flies away.
17 Your guards are like grasshoppers, your scribes like swarms of locusts settling on the fences on a cold day-- when the sun rises, they fly away; no one knows where they have gone.
18 Your shepherds are asleep, O king of Assyria; your nobles slumber. Your people are scattered on the mountains with no one to gather them.
19 There is no assuaging your hurt, your wound is mortal. All who hear the news about you clap their hands over you. For who has ever escaped your endless cruelty?
1 Woe H1945 to the bloody H1818 city H5892 GFS ! it is all H3605 full H4392 of lies H3585 and robbery H6563 ; the prey H2964 NMS departeth H4185 not H3808 NADV ;
2 The noise H6963 CMS of a whip H7752 NMS , and the noise H6963 W-CMS of the rattling H7494 of the wheels H212 , and of the prancing H1725 horses H5483 , and of the jumping H7540 chariots H4818 .
3 The horseman H6571 lifteth up H5927 both the bright H3851 W-NMS sword H2719 GFS and the glittering H1300 spear H2595 NFS : and there is a multitude H7230 W-CMS of slain H2491 , and a great number H3514 of carcasses H6297 ; and there is none H369 W-NPAR end H7097 of their corpses H1472 ; they stumble H3782 upon their corpses H1472 :
4 Because of the multitude H7230 M-NMS of the whoredoms H2183 of the well favored H2896 harlot H2181 , the mistress H1172 of witchcrafts H3785 , that selleth H4376 nations H1471 NMP through her whoredoms H2183 , and families H4940 through her witchcrafts H3785 .
5 Behold H2009 , I am against H413 thee , saith H5002 the LORD H3068 EDS of hosts H6635 ; and I will discover H1540 thy skirts H7757 upon H5921 PREP thy face H6440 , and I will show H7200 the nations H1471 NMP thy nakedness H4626 , and the kingdoms H4467 thy shame H7036 .
6 And I will cast H7993 abominable filth H8251 upon H5921 thee , and make thee vile H5034 , and will set H7760 thee as a gazingstock H7210 .
7 And it shall come to pass H1961 W-VQQ3MS , that all H3605 CMS they that look upon H7200 thee shall flee H5074 from H4480 thee , and say H559 , Nineveh H5210 LFS is laid waste H7703 : who H4310 IPRO will bemoan H5110 her ? whence H370 M-ADV shall I seek H1245 comforters H5162 for thee ?
8 Art thou better H3190 than populous H528 No H4996 , that was situate H3427 among the rivers H2975 , that had the waters H4325 OMD round about H5439 ADV it , whose H834 RPRO rampart H2426 was the sea H3220 NMS , and her wall H2346 was from the sea H3220 M-NMS ?
9 Ethiopia H3568 EMS and Egypt H4714 W-EMS were her strength H6109 , and it was infinite H369 W-NPAR ; Put H6316 and Lubim H3864 were H1961 VQQ3MP thy helpers H5833 .
10 Yet H1571 CONJ was she H1931 PPRO-3FS carried away H1473 , she went H1980 into captivity H7628 : her young children H5768 also H1571 CONJ were dashed in pieces H7376 at the top H7218 B-NMS of all H3605 NMS the streets H2351 : and they cast H3032 lots H1486 for H5921 W-PREP her honorable men H3513 , and all H3605 NMS her great men H1419 were bound H7576 in chains H2131 .
11 Thou H859 also H1571 CONJ shalt be drunken H7937 : thou shalt be H1961 VQI3FS hid H5956 , thou H859 also H1571 CONJ shalt seek H1245 strength H4581 because of the enemy H341 .
12 All H3605 NMS thy strongholds H4013 shall be like fig trees H8384 with H5973 PREP the firstripe figs H1061 : if H518 PART they be shaken H5128 , they shall even fall H5307 into H5921 PREP the mouth H6310 of the eater H398 .
13 Behold H2009 IJEC , thy people H5971 in the midst H7130 of thee are women H802 GFP : the gates H8179 CMP of thy land H776 shall be set wide open H6605 unto thine enemies H341 : the fire H784 CMS shall devour H398 VQQ3FS thy bars H1280 .
14 Draw H7579 thee waters H4325 for the siege H4692 , fortify H2388 thy strongholds H4013 : go H935 into clay H2916 , and tread H7429 the mortar H2563 , make strong H2388 the brickkiln H4404 .
15 There H8033 ADV shall the fire H784 CMS devour H398 thee ; the sword H2719 GFS shall cut thee off H3772 , it shall eat thee up H398 like the cankerworm H3218 : make thyself many H3513 as the cankerworm H3218 , make thyself many H3513 as the locusts H697 .
16 Thou hast multiplied H7235 thy merchants H7402 above the stars H3556 of heaven H8064 D-AMP : the cankerworm H3218 spoileth H6584 , and flieth away H5774 .
17 Thy crowned H4502 are as the locusts H697 , and thy captains H2951 as the great grasshoppers H1462 , which camp H2583 in the hedges H1448 in the cold H7135 day H3117 B-NMS , but when the sun H8121 ariseth H2224 they flee away H5074 , and their place H4725 is not known H3045 where H335 they are .
18 Thy shepherds H7462 slumber H5123 , O king H4428 NMS of Assyria H804 GFS : thy nobles H117 shall dwell H7931 in the dust : thy people H5971 is scattered H6335 upon H5921 PREP the mountains H2022 , and no man H369 W-NPAR gathereth H6908 them .
19 There is no H369 NPAR healing H3545 of thy bruise H7667 ; thy wound H4347 is grievous H2470 : all H3605 NMS that hear H8085 the bruit H8088 of thee shall clap H8628 the hands H3709 over H5921 PREP thee : for H3588 CONJ upon H5921 PREP whom H4310 IPRO hath not H3808 ADV thy wickedness H7451 passed H5674 VQQ3FS continually H8548 ?
