ABP - Nahum - 3

3:1  O city of blood, entirely false, [2of iniquity 1full], [2shall not 3be handled 1the game].

3:2  The sound of whips, and the sound of quaking of wheels, and [2horse 1the pursuing], and the chariot stirring up,

3:3  horseman ascending, and of the shining broadsword, and flashing shields; and the multitude of slain, and of a heavy downfall; and there was no limit to her nations, and they shall be weak in their bodies from a multitude of harlotry;

3:4  [2harlot 1a good], and gratifying, taking the lead in potions; the one selling nations in her harlotry, and tribes with her potions.

3:5  Behold, I am against you, says the lord almighty. And I will uncover your behind in your presence, and I will show the nations your shame, and to kingdoms your dishonor.

3:6  And I will cast upon you an abomination according to your uncleannesses, and I will make you for an example.

3:7  And it will be all the ones seeing you shall go from you, and shall say, Wretched Nineveh, who shall moan her? From what place shall I seek comfort to her?

3:8  Tune the string of the lyre! Prepare a part for Amon, the one inhabiting in rivers! Water is round about her, whose rule is the sea, and [2water 1her walls].

3:9  Ethiopia is her strength, and Egypt. And there stood no limit of your flight into exile. Put and Libya became her helpers.

3:10  And she into displacement shall go captive; and her infants they shall dash upon corners of all her ways; and over all her honorable things they shall cast lots, and all her great men shall be tied with manacles.

3:11  And you shall be intoxicated. And you shall be for overlooking, and you shall seek for yourself a position from enemies.

3:12  All your fortresses are as you, [2fruits 1having], and if they should be shaken, they shall fall into the mouth of ones eating.

3:13  Behold, your people are as women among you to the ones your enemies. By opening [3shall be open 1the gates 2of your land]. [2shall devour 1Fire] the bars of your gates.

3:14  [2water 4for being encompassed about 1Draw 3to yourself]! Secure your fortresses! Step into the mortar, and trample it together with straw! Secure it more than with a brick!

3:15  There [2shall devour 3you 1the fire]; [2shall utterly destroy 3you 1the broadsword]; it shall devour you as a locust, and you shall be oppressed as a grasshopper.

3:16  You multiplied your trade above the stars of the heaven. The grasshopper advanced and spread forth.

3:17  [2leaped out 3as 4the small locust 1Your consolidation], as the locust mounted upon a fence on [2day 1an icy]; the sun rises, and it hops, and knows not its place -- woe to them.

3:18  [2slumbered 1Your shepherds], O king of Assyria, [2rested 1your mighty ones]. [2departed 1Your people] unto the mountains, and there was none looking out for them.

3:19  There is no healing to your destruction; [2is inflamed 1your wound]. All the ones hearing the message of you clap hands over you. For upon whom [2not 3come upon 1did your evil] continually?
