Chariot Charges Through Burning Nineveh
by emmanuel_higgins
3
:
1
Nahum 3:1
chevron_left
chevron_right
Woe to the
bloody city! it
is
all full of lies
and
robbery; the prey departeth not;
2
The noise of a whip, and the noise of the rattling of the wheels, and of the pransing horses, and of the jumping chariots.
3
The horseman lifteth up both the bright sword and the glittering spear: and
there is
a multitude of slain, and a great number of carcases; and
there is
none end of
their
corpses; they stumble upon their corpses:
4
Because of the multitude of the whoredoms of the wellfavoured harlot, the mistress of witchcrafts, that selleth nations through her whoredoms, and families through her witchcrafts.
5
Behold, I
am
against thee, saith the
L
ORD
of hosts; and I will discover thy skirts upon thy face, and I will shew the nations thy nakedness, and the kingdoms thy shame.
6
And I will cast abominable filth upon thee, and make thee vile, and will set thee as a gazingstock.
7
And it shall come to pass,
that
all they that look upon thee shall flee from thee, and say, Nineveh is laid waste: who will bemoan her? whence shall I seek comforters for thee?
8
Art thou better than populous No, that was situate among the rivers,
that had
the waters round about it, whose rampart
was
the sea,
and
her wall
was
from the sea?
9
Ethiopia and Egypt
were
her strength, and
it was
infinite; Put and Lubim were thy helpers.
10
Yet
was
she carried away, she went into captivity: her young children also were dashed in pieces at the top of all the streets: and they cast lots for her honourable men, and all her great men were bound in chains.
11
Thou also shalt be drunken: thou shalt be hid, thou also shalt seek strength because of the enemy.
12
All thy strong holds
shall be like
fig trees with the firstripe figs: if they be shaken, they shall even fall into the mouth of the eater.
13
Behold, thy people in the midst of thee
are
women: the gates of thy land shall be set wide open unto thine enemies: the fire shall devour thy bars.
14
Draw thee waters for the siege, fortify thy strong holds: go into clay, and tread the morter, make strong the brickkiln.
15
There shall the fire devour thee; the sword shall cut thee off, it shall eat thee up like the cankerworm: make thyself many as the cankerworm, make thyself many as the locusts.
16
Thou hast multiplied thy merchants above the stars of heaven: the cankerworm spoileth, and flieth away.
17
Thy crowned
are
as the locusts, and thy captains as the great grasshoppers, which camp in the hedges in the cold day,
but
when the sun ariseth they flee away, and their place is not known where they
are
.
18
Thy shepherds slumber, O king of Assyria: thy nobles shall dwell
in the dust:
thy people is scattered upon the mountains, and no man gathereth
them
.
19
There is
no healing of thy bruise; thy wound is grievous: all that hear the bruit of thee shall clap the hands over thee: for upon whom hath not thy wickedness passed continually?
