Naum 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.

Naum 3:6 In-Context

4 Tudo por causa do desejo desenfreado de uma prostituta sedutora,mestra de feitiçariasque escravizou naçÔes com a sua prostituiçãoe povos com a sua feitiçaria.
5 “Eu estou contra vocĂȘ”, declara o SENHOR dos ExĂ©rcitos;“vou levantar o seu vestido atĂ© a altura do seu rosto.Mostrarei Ă s naçÔes a sua nudeze aos reinos, as suas vergonhas.
6 Eu jogarei imundĂ­cie sobre vocĂȘ,e a tratarei com desprezo;farei de vocĂȘ um exemplo.
7 Todos os que a virem fugirão, dizendo:‘Nínive está arrasada! Quem a lamentará?’Onde encontrarei quem a console?”
8 Acaso vocĂȘ Ă© melhor do que Tebas,situada junto ao Nilo,rodeada de ĂĄguas?O rio era a sua defesa;as ĂĄguas, o seu muro.
