Nahum 3:3-5

Good News Translation

³ Cavalry troops charge,
    swords flash, spears gleam!
Corpses are piled high,
    dead bodies without number—
    men stumble over them!
⁴ Nineveh the whore is being punished.
Attractive and full of deadly charms,
    she enchanted nations and enslaved^[a] them.

“I will punish you, Nineveh!
    I will strip you naked
    and let the nations see you,
    see you in all your shame.
