Nahum 3:4-7
New Living Translation
4 All this because Nineveh,
the beautiful and faithless city,
mistress of deadly charms,
enticed the nations with her beauty.
She taught them all her magic,
enchanting people everywhere.
5 “I am your enemy!”
says the Lord of Heaven’s Armies.
“And now I will lift your skirts
and show all the earth your nakedness and shame.
6 I will cover you with filth
and show the world how vile you really are.
7 All who see you will shrink back and say,
‘Nineveh lies in ruins.
Where are the mourners?’
Does anyone regret your destruction?”
Nahum 3:4-7
Christian Standard Bible
4 Because of the continual prostitution of the prostitute,
the attractive mistress of sorcery,
who treats nations and clans like merchandise
by her prostitution and sorcery,(A)
5 I am against you.(B)
This is the declaration of the Lord of Armies.
I will lift your skirts over your face
and display your nakedness to nations,
your shame to kingdoms.(C)
6 I will throw filth on you
and treat you with contempt;(D)
I will make a spectacle of you.
7 Then all who see you will recoil from you, saying,(E)
“Nineveh is devastated;
who will show sympathy to her?”
Where can I find anyone to comfort you?
