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
New American Standard Bible
4 All because of the (A)many sexual acts of the prostitute,
The charming one, the (B)mistress of sorceries,
Who (C)sells nations by her sexual acts,
And families by her sorceries.
5 “Behold, (D)I am against you,” declares the Lord of armies;
“And I will [a](E)lift up your skirts over your face,
And (F)show the nations your nakedness,
And the kingdoms your shame.
6 I will (G)throw filth on you
And (H)declare you worthless,
And set you up as a (I)spectacle.
7 And it will come about that all who see you
Will [b]shrink from you and say,
‘Nineveh is devastated!
(J)Who will have sympathy for her?’
Where shall I seek comforters for you?”
