Nahum 3:4-7
English Standard Version
4 And all for the countless whorings of the (A)prostitute,
(B)graceful and of deadly charms,
who betrays nations with her whorings,
and peoples with her charms.
5 (C)Behold, I am against you,
declares the Lord of hosts,
and (D)will lift up your skirts over your face;
and I will make nations look at (E)your nakedness
and kingdoms at your shame.
6 I will throw filth at you
and (F)treat you with contempt
and make you (G)a spectacle.
7 And all who look at you (H)will shrink from you and say,
“Wasted is (I)Nineveh; (J)who will grieve for her?”
(K)Where shall I seek comforters for you?
Nahum 3:4-7
Revised Standard Version
4 And all for the countless harlotries of the harlot,
graceful and of deadly charms,
who betrays nations with her harlotries,
and peoples with her charms.
5 Behold, I am against you,
says the Lord of hosts,
and will lift up your skirts over your face;
and I will let nations look on your nakedness
and kingdoms on your shame.
6 I will throw filth at you
and treat you with contempt,
and make you a gazingstock.
7 And all who look on you will shrink from you and say,
Wasted is Nin′eveh; who will bemoan her?
whence shall I seek comforters for her?[a]
