Chapter 2
| Nahum 2:1 | (2:2) A maul is come up before thy face; guard the defences, watch the way, make thy loins strong, fortify thy power mightily!
|
| Nahum 2:2 | (2:3) For the LORD restoreth the pride of Jacob, as the pride of Israel; for the emptiers have emptied them out, and marred their vine-branches.
|
| Nahum 2:3 | (2:4) The shield of his mighty men is made red, the valiant men are in scarlet; the chariots are fire of steel in the day of his preparation, and the cypress spears are made to quiver.
|
| Nahum 2:4 | (2:5) The chariots rush madly in the streets, they jostle one against another in the broad places; the appearance of them is like torches, they run to and fro like the lightnings.
|
| Nahum 2:5 | (2:6) He bethinketh himself of his worthies; they stumble in their march; they make haste to the wall thereof, and the mantelet is prepared.
|
| Nahum 2:6 | (2:7) The gates of the rivers are opened, and the palace is dissolved.
|
| Nahum 2:7 | (2:8) And the queen is uncovered, she is carried away, and her handmaids moan as with the voice of doves, tabering upon their breasts.
|
| Nahum 2:8 | (2:9) But Nineveh hath been from of old like a pool of water; yet they flee away; 'Stand, stand'; but none looketh back.
|
| Nahum 2:9 | (2:10) Take ye the spoil of silver, take the spoil of gold; for there is no end of the store, rich with all precious vessels.
|
| Nahum 2:10 | (2:11) She is empty, and void, and waste; and the heart melteth, and the knees smite together, and convulsion is in all loins, and the faces of them all have gathered blackness.
|
| Nahum 2:11 | (2:12) Where is the den of the lions, which was the feeding-place of the young lions, where the lion and the lioness walked, and the lion's whelp, and none made them afraid?
|
| Nahum 2:12 | (2:13) The lion did tear in pieces enough for his whelps, and strangled for his lionesses, and filled his caves with prey, and his dens with ravin.
|
| Nahum 2:13 | (2:14) Behold, I am against thee, saith the LORD of hosts, and I will burn her chariots in the smoke, and the sword shall devour thy young lions; and I will cut off thy prey from the earth, and the voice of thy messengers shall no more be heard.
