NAHUM
Chapter 2
Nahu | RWebster | 2:1 | He that dasheth in pieces is come up before thy face: keep the fortress, watch the way, make thy loins strong, fortify thy power mightily. | |
Nahu | RWebster | 2:2 | For the LORD hath turned away the excellency of Jacob, as the excellency of Israel: for the emptiers have emptied them out, and marred their vine branches. | |
Nahu | RWebster | 2:3 | The shield of his mighty men is made red, the valiant men are in scarlet: the chariots shall be with flaming torches in the day of his preparation, and the fir trees shall be terribly shaken. | |
Nahu | RWebster | 2:4 | The chariots shall rage in the streets, they shall jostle one against another in the broad ways: they shall seem like torches, they shall run like the lightnings. | |
Nahu | RWebster | 2:5 | He shall recount his nobles: they shall stumble in their walk; they shall make haste to her wall, and the defence shall be prepared. | |
Nahu | RWebster | 2:7 | And Huzzab shall be led away captive, she shall be brought up, and her maids shall lead her as with the voice of doves, beating upon their breasts. | |
Nahu | RWebster | 2:8 | But Nineveh is of old like a pool of water: yet they shall flee away. Stand, stand, shall they cry ; but none shall look back. | |
Nahu | RWebster | 2:9 | Take ye the spoil of silver, take the spoil of gold: for there is no end of the store and glory out of all the pleasant furniture. | |
Nahu | RWebster | 2:10 | She is empty, and void, and waste: and the heart melteth, and the knees smite together, and much pain is in all loins, and the faces of them all gather blackness. | |
Nahu | RWebster | 2:11 | Where is the dwelling of the lions, and the feedingplace of the young lions, where the lion, even the old lion, walked, and the lion’s whelp, and none made them afraid? | |
Nahu | RWebster | 2:12 | The lion tore in pieces enough for his whelps, and strangled for his lionesses, and filled his holes with prey, and his dens with torn flesh. | |
