Nahum 3:5-11
New American Standard Bible
Chapter 3
5
'Behold, I am against you,' declares the
Lord
of armies;
'And I will lift up your skirts over your face,
And show the nations your nakedness,
And the kingdoms your shame.
6
I will throw filth on you
And declare you worthless,
And set you up as a spectacle.
7
And it will come about that all who see you
Will shrink from you and say,
‘Nineveh is devastated!
Who will have sympathy for her?’
Where shall I seek comforters for you?'
8
Are you better than No-amon,
Which was situated by the canals of the Nile,
With water surrounding her,
Whose rampart
was
the sea,
Whose wall
consisted
of the sea?
9
Ethiopia was
her
might,
Egypt too, without limits.
Put and Lubim were among her helpers.
10
Yet she became an exile,
She went into captivity;
Also her small children were smashed to pieces
At the head of every street;
They cast lots for her honorable men,
And all her great men were bound with shackles.
11
You too will become drunk,
You will be hidden.
You too will search for a refuge from the enemy.
King James Version
Chapter 3
5
Behold, I am against thee, saith the
Lord
of hosts; and I will discover thy skirts upon thy face, and I will shew the nations thy nakedness, and the kingdoms thy shame.
6
And I will cast abominable filth upon thee, and make thee vile, and will set thee as a gazingstock.
7
And it shall come to pass, that all they that look upon thee shall flee from thee, and say, Nineveh is laid waste: who will bemoan her? whence shall I seek comforters for thee?
8
Art thou better than populous No, that was situate among the rivers, that had the waters round about it, whose rampart was the sea, and her wall was from the sea?
9
Ethiopia and Egypt were her strength, and it was infinite; Put and Lubim were thy helpers.
10
Yet was she carried away, she went into captivity: her young children also were dashed in pieces at the top of all the streets: and they cast lots for her honourable men, and all her great men were bound in chains.
11
Thou also shalt be drunken: thou shalt be hid, thou also shalt seek strength because of the enemy.
Christian Standard Bible
Chapter 3
5
I am against you. This is the declaration of the
Lord
of Armies. I will lift your skirts over your face
and display your nakedness to nations,
your shame to kingdoms.
6
I will throw filth on you
and treat you with contempt;
I will make a spectacle of you.
7
Then all who see you will recoil from you, saying,
"Nineveh is devastated;
who will show sympathy to her?"
Where can I find anyone to comfort you?
8
Are you better than Thebes
that sat along the Nile
with water surrounding her,
whose rampart was the sea,
the river her wall?
9
Cush and Egypt were her endless source of strength;
Put and Libya were among her allies.
10
Yet she became an exile;
she went into captivity.
Her children were also dashed to pieces
at the head of every street.
They cast lots for her dignitaries,
and all her nobles were bound in chains.
11
You also will become drunk;
you will hide.
You also will seek refuge from the enemy.
New Living Translation
Chapter 3
5
'I am your enemy!'
says the
Lord
of Heaven’s Armies.
'And now I will lift your skirts
and show all the earth your nakedness and shame.
6
I will cover you with filth
and show the world how vile you really are.
7
All who see you will shrink back and say,
‘Nineveh lies in ruins.
Where are the mourners?’
Does anyone regret your destruction?'
8
Are you any better than the city of Thebes,
situated on the Nile River, surrounded by water?
She was protected by the river on all sides,
walled in by water.
9
Ethiopia and the land of Egypt
gave unlimited assistance.
The nations of Put and Libya
were among her allies.
10
Yet Thebes fell,
and her people were led away as captives.
Her babies were dashed to death
against the stones of the streets.
Soldiers threw dice to get Egyptian officers as servants.
All their leaders were bound in chains.
11
And you, Nineveh, will also stagger like a drunkard.
You will hide for fear of the attacking enemy.
English Standard Version
Chapter 3
5
Behold, I am against you,
declares the
Lord
of hosts,
and will lift up your skirts over your face;
and I will make nations look at your nakedness
and kingdoms at your shame.
6
I will throw filth at you
and treat you with contempt
and make you a spectacle.
7
And all who look at you will shrink from you and say,
"Wasted is Nineveh; who will grieve for her?"
Where shall I seek comforters for you?
8
Are you better than Thebes
that sat by the Nile,
with water around her,
her rampart a sea,
and water her wall?
9
Cush was her strength;
Egypt too, and that without limit;
Put and the Libyans were her helpers.
10
Yet she became an exile;
she went into captivity;
her infants were dashed in pieces
at the head of every street;
for her honored men lots were cast,
and all her great men were bound in chains.
11
You also will be drunken;
you will go into hiding;
you will seek a refuge from the enemy.
New International Version
Chapter 3
5
"I am against you," declares the
Lord
Almighty.
"I will lift your skirts over your face.
I will show the nations your nakedness
and the kingdoms your shame.
6
I will pelt you with filth,
I will treat you with contempt
and make you a spectacle.
7
All who see you will flee from you and say,
‘Nineveh is in ruins—who will mourn for her?’
Where can I find anyone to comfort you?"
8
Are you better than Thebes,
situated on the Nile,
with water around her?
The river was her defense,
the waters her wall.
9
Cush and Egypt were her boundless strength;
Put and Libya were among her allies.
10
Yet she was taken captive
and went into exile.
Her infants were dashed to pieces
at every street corner.
Lots were cast for her nobles,
and all her great men were put in chains.
11
You too will become drunk;
you will go into hiding
and seek refuge from the enemy.
New King James Version
Chapter 3
5
“Behold, I
am
against you,” says the
Lord
of hosts;
“I will lift your skirts over your face,
I will show the nations your nakedness,
And the kingdoms your shame.
6
I will cast abominable filth upon you,
Make you vile,
And make you a spectacle.
7
It shall come to pass
that
all who look upon you
Will flee from you, and say,
‘Nineveh is laid waste!
Who will bemoan her?’
Where shall I seek comforters for you?”
8
Are you better than No Amon
That was
situated by the River,
That had the waters around her,
Whose rampart
was
the sea,
Whose wall
was
the sea?
9
Ethiopia and Egypt
were
her strength,
And
it was
boundless;
Put and Lubim were your helpers.
10
Yet she
was
carried away,
She went into captivity;
Her young children also were dashed to pieces
At the head of every street;
They cast lots for her honorable men,
And all her great men were bound in chains.
11
You also will be drunk;
You will be hidden;
You also will seek refuge from the enemy.
