Nahum 3:4-7
Legacy Standard Bible
4 All because of the (A)many harlotries of the harlot,
The charming one, the (B)mistress of sorceries,
Who (C)sells nations by her harlotries
And families by her sorceries.
5 “Behold, (D)I am against you,” declares Yahweh of hosts;
“And I will (E)uncover your skirts over your face
And (F)show to the nations your nakedness
And to the kingdoms your disgrace.
6 I will (G)throw detestable filth on you
And (H)display you as a wicked fool
And set you up as a (I)spectacle.
7 And it will be that all who see you
Will flee from you and say,
‘Nineveh is devastated!
(J)Who will console her?’
Where will I seek comforters for you?”
Nahum 3:4-7
New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition
4 Because of the countless debaucheries of the prostitute,
gracefully alluring, mistress of sorcery,
who enslaves[a] nations through her debaucheries
and peoples through her sorcery,(A)
5 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.(B)
6 I will throw filth at you
and treat you with contempt
and make you a spectacle.(C)
7 Then all who see you will shrink from you and say,
“Nineveh is devastated; who will bemoan her?”
Where shall I seek comforters for you?(D)
