Nahum 3:4-7
English Standard Version
4 And all for the countless whorings of the (A)prostitute,
(B)graceful and of deadly charms,
who betrays nations with her whorings,
and peoples with her charms.
5 (C)Behold, I am against you,
declares the Lord of hosts,
and (D)will lift up your skirts over your face;
and I will make nations look at (E)your nakedness
and kingdoms at your shame.
6 I will throw filth at you
and (F)treat you with contempt
and make you (G)a spectacle.
7 And all who look at you (H)will shrink from you and say,
“Wasted is (I)Nineveh; (J)who will grieve for her?”
(K)Where shall I seek comforters for you?
Nahum 3:4-7
International Standard Version
4 Innumerable are the harlotries of this well-favored whore,
this mistress of witchcraft,
who enslaves nations through her fornication
and families through her sorcery.
God’s Decree against Nineveh
5 “Look, I am against you,” declares the Lord of the Heavenly Armies,
“so I will pull up your dress over your face.
I will show your nakedness to the nations,
and your disgrace to the kingdoms.
6 I will hurl abominable filth upon you,
making you look foolish,
and making an example of you.
7 It will be that everyone who looks at you will run away, saying,
‘Nineveh has been violently overthrown!
Who will mourn for her?
Where will I find anyone to comfort you?’”
