ylt @Nahum:3:1 @Wo [to ] the city of blood , She is all with lies -- burglary -- full , Prey doth not depart . ylt @Nahum:3:2 @The sound of a whip , And the sound of the rattling of a wheel , And of a prancing horse , and of a bounding chariot , Of a horseman mounting . ylt @Nahum:3:3 @And the flame of a sword , and the lightning of a spear , And the abundance of the wounded , And the weight of carcases , Yea , there is no end to the bodies , They stumble over their bodies . ylt @Nahum:3:4 @Because of the abundance of the fornications of an harlot , The goodness of the grace of the lady of witchcrafts , Who is selling nations by her fornications , And families by her witchcrafts . ylt @Nahum:3:5 @Lo , I [am ] against thee , An affirmation of Jehovah of Hosts , And have removed thy skirts before thy face , And have shewed nations thy nakedness , And kingdoms thy shame , ylt @Nahum:3:6 @And I have cast upon thee abominations , And dishonoured thee , and made thee as a sight . ylt @Nahum:3:7 @And it hath come to pass , Each of thy beholders fleeth from thee , And hath said : 'Spoiled is Nineveh , Who doth bemoan for her ?' Whence do I seek comforters for thee ? ylt @Nahum:3:8 @Art thou better than No-Ammon , That is dwelling among brooks ? Waters she hath round about her , Whose bulwark [is ] the sea , waters her wall . ylt @Nahum:3:9 @Cush her might , and Egypt , and there is no end . Put and Lubim have been for thy help . ylt @Nahum:3:10 @Even she doth become an exile , She hath gone into captivity , Even her sucklings are dashed to pieces At the top of all out-places , And for her honoured ones they cast a lot , And all her great ones have been bound in fetters . ylt @Nahum:3:11 @Even thou art drunken , thou art hidden , Even thou dost seek a strong place , because of an enemy . ylt @Nahum:3:12 @All thy fortresses [are ] fig-trees with first-fruits , If they are shaken , They have fallen into the mouth of the eater . ylt @Nahum:3:13 @Lo , thy people [are ] women in thy midst , To thine enemies thoroughly opened Have been the gates of thy land , Consumed hath fire thy bars . ylt @Nahum:3:14 @Waters of a siege draw for thyself , Strengthen thy fortresses , Enter into mire , and tread on clay , Make strong a brick-kiln . ylt @Nahum:3:15 @There consume thee doth a fire , Cut thee off doth a sword , It doth consume thee as a cankerworm ! Make thyself heavy as the cankerworm , Make thyself heavy as the locust . ylt @Nahum:3:16 @Multiply thy merchants above the stars of the heavens , The cankerworm hath stripped off , and doth flee away . ylt @Nahum:3:17 @Thy crowned ones [are ] as a locust , And thy princes as great grasshoppers , That encamp in hedges in a day of cold , The sun hath risen , and it doth flee away , And not known is its place where they are . ylt @Nahum:3:18 @Slumbered have thy friends , king of Asshur , Rest do thine honourable ones , Scattered have been thy people on the mountains , And there is none gathering . ylt @Nahum:3:19 @There is no weakening of thy destruction , Grievous [is ] thy smiting , All hearing thy fame have clapped the hand at thee , For over whom did not thy wickedness pass continually ?
