| Nahum 3:1 | Woe to the bloody city! It is all full of lies and robbery. The prey doesn't depart. | Wo [to] the city of blood, She is all with lies burglary full, Prey doth not depart. | A curse is on the town of blood; it is full of deceit and violent acts; and there is no end to the taking of life. |
| Nahum 3:2 | The noise of the whip, the noise of the rattling of wheels, prancing horses, and bounding chariots, | The sound of a whip, And the sound of the rattling of a wheel, And of a prancing horse, and of a bounding chariot, Of a horseman mounting. | The noise of the whip, and the noise of thundering wheels; horses rushing and war-carriages jumping, |
| Nahum 3:3 | the horseman mounting, and the flashing sword, the glittering spear, and a multitude of slain, and a great heap of corpses, and there is no end of the bodies. They stumble on their bodies, | And the flame of a sword, and the lightning of a spear, And the abundance of the wounded, And the weight of carcases, Yea, there is no end to the bodies, They stumble over their bodies. | Horsemen driving forward, and the shining sword and the bright spear: and a great number of wounded, and masses of dead bodies; they are falling over the bodies of the dead: |
| Nahum 3:4 | because of the multitude of the prostitution of the alluring prostitute, the mistress of witchcraft, who sells nations through her prostitution, and families through her witchcraft. | Because of the abundance of the fornications of an harlot, The goodness of the grace of the lady of witchcrafts, Who is selling nations by her fornications, And families by her witchcrafts. | Because of all the false ways of the loose woman, expert in attraction and wise in secret arts, who takes nations in the net of her false ways, and families through her secret arts. |
| Nahum 3:5 | "Behold, I am against you," says Yahweh of Hosts, "and I will lift your skirts over your face. I will show the nations your nakedness, and the kingdoms your shame. | Lo, I [am] against thee, An affirmation of Jehovah of Hosts, And have removed thy skirts before thy face, And have shewed nations thy nakedness, And kingdoms thy shame, | See, I am against you, says the Lord of armies, and I will have your skirts pulled over your face, and let the nations see you unclothed, and the kingdoms your shame. |
| Nahum 3:6 | I will throw abominable filth on you, and make you vile, and will set you a spectacle. | And I have cast upon thee abominations, And dishonoured thee, and made thee as a sight. | I will make you completely disgusting and full of shame, and will put you up to be looked at by all. |
| Nahum 3:7 | It will happen that all those who look at you will flee from you, and say, 'Nineveh is laid waste Who will mourn for her?' Where will I seek comforters for you?" | And it hath come to pass, Each of thy beholders fleeth from thee, And hath said: `Spoiled is Nineveh, Who doth bemoan for her?` Whence do I seek comforters for thee? | And it will come about that all who see you will go in flight from you and say, Nineveh is made waste: who will be weeping for her? where am I to get comforters for her? |
| Nahum 3:8 | Are you better than No-amon, who was situated among the rivers, who had the waters around her; whose rampart was the sea, and her wall was of the sea? | Art thou better than No-Ammon, That is dwelling among brooks? Waters she hath round about her, Whose bulwark [is] the sea, waters her wall. | Are you better than No-amon, seated on the Nile streams, with waters all round her; whose wall was the sea and her earthwork the waters? |
| Nahum 3:9 | Cush and Egypt were her boundless strength. Put and Libya were her helpers. | Cush her might, and Egypt, and there is no end. Put and Lubim have been for thy help. | Ethiopia was her strength and Egyptians without number; Put and Lubim were her helpers. |
| Nahum 3:10 | 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 honorable men, and all her great men were bound in chains. | Even she doth become an exile, She hath gone into captivity, Even her sucklings are dashed to pieces At the top of all out-places, And for her honoured ones they cast a lot, And all her great ones have been bound in fetters. | But even she has been taken away, she has gone away as a prisoner: even her young children are smashed to bits at the top of all the streets: the fate of her honoured men is put to the decision of chance, and all her great men are put in chains. |
| Nahum 3:11 | You also will be drunken. You will be hidden. You also will seek a stronghold because of the enemy. | Even thou art drunken, thou art hidden, Even thou dost seek a strong place, because of an enemy. | And you will be overcome with wine, you will become feeble; you will be looking for a safe place from those who are fighting against you. |
| Nahum 3:12 | All your fortresses will be like fig-trees with the first-ripe figs: if they are shaken, they fall into the mouth of the eater. | All thy fortresses [are] fig-trees with first-fruits, If they are shaken, They have fallen into the mouth of the eater. | All your walled places will be like fig-trees and your people like the first figs, falling at a shake into the mouth which is open for them. |
| Nahum 3:13 | Behold, your people in the midst of you are women. The gates of your land are set wide open to your enemies. The fire has devoured your bars. | Lo, thy people [are] women in thy midst, To thine enemies thoroughly opened Have been the gates of thy land, Consumed hath fire thy bars. | See, the people who are in you are women; the doorways of your land are wide open to your attackers: the locks of your doors have been burned away in the fire. |
| Nahum 3:14 | Draw water for the siege. Strengthen your fortresses. Go into the clay, and tread the mortar. Make the brick kiln strong. | Waters of a siege draw for thyself, Strengthen thy fortresses, Enter into mire, and tread on clay, Make strong a brick-kiln. | Get water for the time when you are shut in, make strong your towns: go into the potter's earth, stamping it down with your feet, make strong the brickworks. |
| Nahum 3:15 | There the fire will devour you. The sword will cut you off. It will devour you like the grasshopper. Multiply like grasshoppers. Multiply like the locust. | There consume thee doth a fire, Cut thee off doth a sword, It doth consume thee as a cankerworm! Make thyself heavy as the cankerworm, Make thyself heavy as the locust. | There the fire will make you waste; you will be cut off by the sword: make yourself as great in number as the worms, as great in number as the locusts. |
| Nahum 3:16 | You have increased your merchants more than the stars of the skies. The grasshopper strips, and flees away. | Multiply thy merchants above the stars of the heavens, The cankerworm hath stripped off, and doth flee away. | Let your traders be increased more than the stars of heaven: |
| Nahum 3:17 | Your guards are like the locusts, and your officials like the swarms of locusts, which settle on the walls on a cold day, but when the sun appears, they flee away, and their place is not known where they are. | Thy crowned ones [are] as a locust, And thy princes as great grasshoppers, That encamp in hedges in a day of cold, The sun hath risen, and it doth flee away, And not known is its place where they are. | Your crowned ones are like the locusts, and your scribes like the clouds of insects which take cover in the walls on a cold day, but when the sun comes up they go in flight, and are seen no longer in their place. |
| Nahum 3:18 | Your shepherds slumber, king of Assyria. Your nobles lie down. Your people are scattered on the mountains, and there is no one to gather them. | Slumbered have thy friends, king of Asshur, Rest do thine honourable ones, Scattered have been thy people on the mountains, And there is none gathering. | Sorrow! how are the keepers of your flock sleeping, O king of Assyria! your strong men are at rest; your people are wandering on the mountains, and there is no one to get them together. |
| Nahum 3:19 | There is no healing your wound, for your injury is fatal. All who hear the report of you clap their hands over you; for who hasn't felt your endless cruelty? | There is no weakening of thy destruction, Grievous [is] thy smiting, All hearing thy fame have clapped the hand at thee, For over whom did not thy wickedness pass continually? | Your pain may not be made better; you are wounded to death: all those hearing the news about you will be waving their hands in joy over you: for who has not undergone the weight of your evil-doing again and again? |
