Nahum 2:6
chevron_left
chevron_right
1
He that dasheth
in pieces is come up before thy face: keep the munition, watch the way, make
thy
loins strong, fortify
thy
power mightily.
2
For the
L
ORD
hath turned away the excellency of Jacob, as the excellency of Israel: for the emptiers have emptied them out, and marred their vine branches.
3
The shield of his mighty men is made red, the valiant men
are
in scarlet: the chariots
shall be
with flaming torches in the day of his preparation, and the fir trees shall be terribly shaken.
4
The chariots shall rage in the streets, they shall justle one against another in the broad ways: they shall seem like torches, they shall run like the lightnings.
5
He shall recount his worthies: they shall stumble in their walk; they shall make haste to the wall thereof, and the defence shall be prepared.
The gates of the rivers shall be opened, and the palace shall be dissolved.
7
And Huzzab shall be led away captive, she shall be brought up, and her maids shall lead
her
as with the voice of doves, tabering upon their breasts.
8
But Nineveh
is
of old like a pool of water: yet they shall flee away. Stand, stand,
shall they cry;
but none shall look back.
9
Take ye the spoil of silver, take the spoil of gold: for
there is
none end of the store
and
glory out of all the pleasant furniture.
10
She is empty, and void, and waste: and the heart melteth, and the knees smite together, and much pain
is
in all loins, and the faces of them all gather blackness.
11
Where
is
the dwelling of the lions, and the feedingplace of the young lions, where the lion,
even
the old lion, walked,
and
the lion’s whelp, and none made
them
afraid?
12
The lion did tear in pieces enough for his whelps, and strangled for his lionesses, and filled his holes with prey, and his dens with ravin.
13
Behold, I
am
against thee, saith the
L
ORD
of hosts, and I will burn her chariots in the smoke, and the sword shall devour thy young lions: and I will cut off thy prey from the earth, and the voice of thy messengers shall no more be heard.
