Nahum 3:4-7
New King James Version
4 Because of the multitude of [a]harlotries of the [b]seductive harlot,
(A)The mistress of sorceries,
Who sells nations through her harlotries,
And families through her sorceries.
5 “Behold, I am (B)against you,” says the Lord of hosts;
(C)“I will lift your skirts over your face,
I will show the nations your nakedness,
And the kingdoms your shame.
6 I will cast abominable filth upon you,
Make you (D)vile,[c]
And make you (E)a spectacle.
7 It shall come to pass that all who look upon you
(F)Will flee from you, and say,
(G)‘Nineveh is laid waste!
(H)Who will bemoan her?’
Where shall I seek comforters for you?”
Nahum 3:4-7
Authorized (King James) Version
4 because of the multitude of the whoredoms
of the wellfavoured harlot, the mistress of witchcrafts,
that selleth nations through her whoredoms,
and families through her witchcrafts.
5 Behold, I am against thee, saith the Lord of hosts;
and I will discover thy skirts upon thy face,
and I will shew the nations thy nakedness,
and the kingdoms thy shame.
6 And I will cast abominable filth upon thee, and make thee vile,
and will set thee as a gazingstock.
7 And it shall come to pass, that all they that look upon thee shall flee from thee,
and say, Nineveh is laid waste:
who will bemoan her?
whence shall I seek comforters for thee?
