Nahúm 3:6 Meaning and Commentary

Nahum 3:6

And I will cast abominable filth upon thee
As dirt and dung, or any or everything that is abominable and filthy; and which is thrown at harlots publicly disgraced, and as used to be at persons when carted. The meaning is, that this city and its inhabitants should be stripped of everything that was great and glorious in them, and should be reduced to the utmost shame and ignominy: and make thee vile:
mean, abject, contemptible, the offscouring of all things; rejected and disesteemed of all; had in no manner of repute or account, but in the utmost abhorrence: and I will set thee as a gazingstock;
to be looked and laughed at: or, "for an example" F5; to others, that they may shun the evils and abominations Nineveh had been guilty of, or expect the same disgrace and punishment. Kimchi interprets it "as dung" F6; to be no more reckoned of than that, or to be made a dunghill of; and so many others interpret it; or, "for a looking glass" F7; that others may look into, and take warning, and avoid the sins that have brought on such calamities.

Nahúm 3:6 In-Context

4 Y todo porque Nínive
—la ciudad hermosa e incrédula,
la amante con encantos mortales—
sedujo a las naciones con su belleza.
Ella les enseñó toda su magia
y hechizó a la gente por todas partes.
5 «¡Yo soy tu enemigo!
—dice el Señor
de los Ejércitos Celestiales—.
Ahora te levantaré la falda
y mostraré tu desnudez y tu vergüenza a toda la tierra.
6 Te cubriré con inmundicias
y mostraré al mundo lo vil que eres.
7 Todos los que te vean se alejarán de ti y dirán:
“Nínive yace en ruinas.
¿Dónde están los que lloran por ella?”.
¿Lamenta alguien tu destrucción?».
8 ¿Acaso eres mejor que la ciudad de Tebas,
situada en el río Nilo y rodeada de agua?
Estaba protegida a su alrededor por el río,
con el agua por muralla.
