Nahum 2
2
The Destruction of Nineveh
1He who scatters has come up before your face.
Man the fort!
Watch the road!
Strengthen your flanks!
Fortify your power mightily.
2For the Lord will restore the excellence of Jacob
Like the excellence of Israel,
For the emptiers have emptied them out
And ruined their vine branches.
3The shields of his mighty men are made red,
The valiant men are in scarlet.
The chariots come with flaming torches
In the day of his preparation,
And the spears are brandished.
4The chariots rage in the streets,
They jostle one another in the broad roads;
They seem like torches,
They run like lightning.
5He remembers his nobles;
They stumble in their walk;
They make haste to her walls,
And the defense is prepared.
6The gates of the rivers are opened,
And the palace is dissolved.
7It is decreed:
She shall be led away captive,
She shall be brought up;
And her maidservants shall lead her as with the voice of doves,
Beating their breasts.
8Though Nineveh of old was like a pool of water,
Now they flee away.
“Halt! Halt!” they cry;
But no one turns back.
9Take spoil of silver!
Take spoil of #Ezek. 7:19; Zeph. 1:18gold!
There is no end of treasure,
Or wealth of every desirable prize.
10She is empty, desolate, and waste!
The heart melts, and the knees shake;
Much pain is in every side,
And all their faces are drained of color.
11Where is the dwelling of the #Job 4:10, 11; Ezek. 19:2–7lions,
And the feeding place of the young lions,
Where the lion walked, the lioness and lion’s cub,
And no one made them afraid?
12The lion tore in pieces enough for his cubs,
Killed for his lionesses,
#Is. 10:6; Jer. 51:34Filled his caves with prey,
And his dens with flesh.
13“Behold, #Jer. 21:13; Ezek. 5:8; Nah. 3:5I am against you,” says the Lord of hosts, “I will burn your chariots in smoke, and the sword shall devour your young lions; I will cut off your prey from the earth, and the voice of your #2 Kin. 18:17–25; 19:9–13, 23messengers shall be heard no more.”
