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?
Nahum 3:4-7
Common English Bible
4 Because of the many whorings of the whore,
the lovely graces of the mistress of sorceries,
the one who sells nations by means of her whorings
and peoples by means of her sorceries:
5 Look! I am against you, proclaims
the Lord of heavenly forces.
I will lift your skirts over your face;
I will show nations your nakedness
and kingdoms your dishonor.
6 I will throw disgusting things at you;
I will treat you with contempt and make you a spectacle.
7 Then all who look at you will recoil from you and say,
“Nineveh has been devastated!
Who will lament for her?”
Where could I possibly seek comforters for you?
