Nahum 3:4-7
New International Version
4 all because of the wanton lust of a prostitute,
alluring, the mistress of sorceries,(A)
who enslaved nations by her prostitution(B)
and peoples by her witchcraft.
5 “I am against(C) you,” declares the Lord Almighty.
“I will lift your skirts(D) over your face.
I will show the nations your nakedness(E)
and the kingdoms your shame.
6 I will pelt you with filth,(F)
I will treat you with contempt(G)
and make you a spectacle.(H)
7 All who see you will flee(I) from you and say,
‘Nineveh(J) is in ruins(K)—who will mourn for her?’(L)
Where can I find anyone to comfort(M) 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?
