Nahum, Chapter 2

1 a Ch 2:2 in HebThe one who scatters has come up againstb Lit your faceyou.
Man the fortress, watch the road;
c Lit Make strong your loinsStrengthen your back,d Lit strengthen power greatlysummon all your strength.
2 For the LORD will restore the splendor of Jacob
Like the splendor of Israel,
Even though devastators have devastated them
And destroyed their vine branches.
3 The shields ofe I.e. those attacking Ninevehhis mighty men are colored red,
The warriors are dressed in scarlet,
The chariots are enveloped inf Lit fire of steelflashing steel
g Lit On the day of his preparationWhen he is prepared to march,
And the cypress spears are brandished.
4 The chariots race madly in the streets,
They rush wildly in theh Lit broad placessquares,
Their appearance is like torches,
They dash to and fro like lightning flashes.
5 He remembers his nobles;
They stumble in their march,
They hurry to her wall,
And thei Lit covering used in a siegemantelet is set up.
6 The gates of the rivers are opened
And the palace is dissolved.
7 It is fixed:
She is stripped, she is carried away,
And her handmaids are moaning like the sound of doves,
Beating on theirj Lit heartsbreasts.
8 Though Nineveh was like a pool of water throughout her days,
Now they are fleeing;
“Stop, stop,”
But no one turns back.
9 Plunder the silver!
Plunder the gold!
For there is no limit to the treasure—
Wealth from every kind of desirable object.
10 She is emptied! Yes, she is desolate and waste!
Hearts are melting and knees knocking!
Also anguish is ink Lit all the lointhe whole body
And all their faces are grown pale!
11 Where is the den of the lions
And the feeding place of the young lions,
Where the lion, lioness and lion’s cub prowled,
With nothing to disturb them?
12 The lion tore enough for his cubs,
l Lit StrangledKilled enough for his lionesses,
And filled his lairs with prey
And his dens with torn flesh.
13 “Behold, I am against you,” declares the LORD of hosts. “I will burn up her chariots in smoke, a sword will devour your young lions; I will cut off your prey from the land, and no longer will the voice of your messengers be heard.”
