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
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?”
