Nahum 3:5 Meaning and Commentary

Nahum 3:5

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.

Nahum 3:5 In-Context

3 Les cavaliers s'élancent, l'épée brille et la lance étincelle. C'est une multitude de blessés! Une foule de cadavres, des corps morts à l'infini! Ils trébuchent sur leurs morts.
4 C'est à cause des nombreuses prostitutions de la prostituée, pleine d'attraits, habile enchanteresse, qui vendait les nations par ses prostitutions, et les peuples par ses enchantements.
5 Voici, j'en veux à toi, dit l'Éternel des armées! Je relèverai les pans de ta robe sur ton visage, et je montrerai aux nations ta nudité, et ta honte aux royaumes.
6 Je jetterai sur toi tes abominations, je te rendrai méprisable, et je te donnerai en spectacle.
7 Tous ceux qui te verront fuiront loin de toi, et diront: Ninive est détruite! Qui aura compassion d'elle? Où te chercherai-je des consolateurs?
