Nahúm 3:1-7

Listen to Nahúm 3:1-7
1 Juicio del Señor
contra NĂ­nive
¡Qué aflicción le espera a Nínive,
la ciudad de crĂ­menes y mentiras!
Está saturada de riquezas
y nunca le faltan vĂ­ctimas.
2 ¡Oigan el chasquido de los látigos
y el retumbo de las ruedas!
Los cascos de los caballos retumban
y los carros de guerra traquetean sin control.
3 ¡Miren cómo destellan las espadas y brillan las lanzas
cuando pasa la caballerĂ­a!
Hay muertos incontables,
hay montones de cadáveres,
tantos que la gente tropieza con ellos.
4 Y todo porque NĂ­nive
—la ciudad hermosa e incrédula,
la amante con encantos mortales—
sedujo a las naciones con su belleza.
Ella les enseñó toda su magia
y hechizĂł 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?».

Nahúm 3:1-7 Meaning and Commentary

INTRODUCTION TO NAHUM 3

In this chapter is contained the prophecy of the destruction of Nineveh, and with it the whole Assyrian empire; the causes of which, besides those before mentioned, were the murders, lies, and robberies it was full of, Na 3:1 for which it should be swiftly and cruelly destroyed, Na 3:2,3 as also its whoredoms and witchcrafts, or idolatry, by which nations and families were seduced, Na 3:4 and hence she should be treated as a harlot, her nakedness exposed, and she cast out with contempt, and mocked at by all, Na 3:5-7 and all those things she placed her confidence in are shown to be of no avail; as her situation and fortresses, as she might learn from the case of No Amon, Na 3:8-12 nor the number of her inhabitants, which were weak as women; nor even her merchants, captains, nobles, and king himself, Na 3:13-18 nor the people she was in alliance with, who would now mock at her, her case being irrecoverable and incurable, Na 3:19.
