Book 21 : NEVIIM - TREISAR - NAHUM - Chapter 003

03:001

Woe to the bloody city! It is all full of lies and rapine; the prey departeth not

03:002

Hark! the whip, and hark! the rattling of the wheels; and prancing horses, and bounding chariots

03:003

The horseman charging, and the flashing sword, and the glittering spear; and a multitude of slain, and a heap of carcases; and there is no end of the corpses, and they stumble upon their corpses

03:004

Because of the multitude of the harlotries of the well-favoured harlot, the mistress of witchcrafts, that selleth nations through her harlotries, and families through her witchcrafts

03:005

Behold, I am against thee, saith HaShem of hosts, and I will uncover thy skirts upon thy face, and I will shew the nations thy nakedness, and the kingdoms thy shame

03:006

And I will cast detestable things upon thee, and make thee vile, and will make thee as dung

03:007

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?

03:008

Art thou better than No-amon, that was situate among the rivers, that had the waters round about her; whose rampart was the sea, and of the sea her wall

03:009

Ethiopia and Egypt were thy strength, and it was infinite; Put and Lubim were thy helpers

03:010

Yet was she carried away, she went into captivity; her young children also were dashed in pieces at the head of all the streets; and they cast lots for her honourable men, and all her great men were bound in chains

03:011

Thou also shalt be drunken, thou shalt swoon; thou also shalt seek a refuge because of the enemy

03:012

All thy fortresses shall be like fig-trees with the first-ripe figs: if they be shaken, they fall into the mouth of the eater

03:013

Behold, thy people in the midst of thee are women; the gates of thy land are set wide open unto thine enemies; the fire hath devoured thy bars

03:014

Draw thee water for the siege, strengthen thy fortresses; go into the clay, and tread the mortar, lay hold of the brickmould

03:015

There shall the fire devour thee; the sword shall cut thee off, it shall devour thee like the canker-worm; make thyself many as the canker-worm, make thyself many as the locusts

03:016

Thou hast multiplied thy merchants above the stars of heaven; the canker-worm spreadeth itself, and flieth away

03:017

Thy crowned are as the locusts, and thy marshals as the swarms of grasshoppers, which camp in the walls in the cold day, but when the sun ariseth they flee away, and their place is not known where they are

03:018

Thy shepherds slumber, O king of Assyria, thy worthies are at rest; thy people are scattered upon the mountains, and there is none to gather them

03:019

There is no assuaging of thy hurt, thy wound is grievous; all that hear the report of thee clap the hands over thee; for upon whom hath not thy wickedness passed continually
