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
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?”
