Nahum 3:4 - Matthew Henry

Nahum 3:4

2 The noise of¹ a whip
And the noise of rattling wheels,
Of galloping horses,
Of 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 of¹ harlotries of the seductive harlot,
^aThe mistress of sorceries,
Who sells nations through her harlotries,
And families through her sorceries.

5 “Behold, I am ^aagainst you,” says the Lord of hosts;
^b“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 ^avile,
And make you ^ba spectacle.

7 It shall come to pass that all who look upon you
^aWill flee from you, and say,
^b‘Nineveh is laid waste!
^cWho will bemoan her?’
Where shall I seek comforters for you?”

8 ^aAre you better than ^bNo Amon
That was situated by the¹ River,
That had the waters around her,
Whose rampart was the sea,
Whose wall was the sea?
