“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.
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.
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.
Behold, I [am] against thee, saith the Lord of
hosts
Because her doings were against him; (See Gill on Nahum
2:13): and I will discover thy skirts upon thy
face;
turn up the skirts of her garments over her head, and thereby
discover what should be concealed, than which nothing is more
disagreeable and abominable to modest persons; it is here
threatened she should be used in character as a harlot, or as
women oftentimes are by rude soldiers, when a city is taken by
them: and I will show the nations thy nakedness, and the
kingdoms thy shame;
all her charms shall be taken away, and she become odious as a
harlot to her former lovers; all her impostures, arts, and
tricks, and shameful actions, will be discovered; and her aims
and views at universal monarchy will be seen and her weakness to
effect it made to appear; and, upon the whole, will become the
object of the scorn and derision of kingdoms and nations.
