New American Standard Bible (NASB)
Nahum 2
12 The lion tore enough for his cubs, Killed enough for his lionesses, And filled his lairs with prey And his dens with torn flesh.
13 "Behold, I am against you," declares the Lord of hosts. "I will burn up her chariots in smoke, a sword will devour your young lions; I will cut off your prey from the land, and no longer will the voice of your messengers be heard."
Nahum 3
1 Woe to the bloody city, completely full of lies and pillage; Her prey never departs.
2 The noise of the whip, The noise of the rattling of the wheel, Galloping horses And bounding chariots!
3 Horsemen charging, Swords flashing, spears gleaming, Many slain, a mass of corpses, And countless dead bodies- They stumble over the dead bodies!
4 All because of the many harlotries of the harlot, The charming one, the mistress of sorceries, Who sells nations by her harlotries And families by her sorceries.
5 "Behold, I am against you," declares the Lord of hosts; "And I will lift up your skirts over your face, And show to the nations your nakedness And to the kingdoms your disgrace.
6 "I will throw filth on you And make you vile, And set you up as a spectacle.
7 "And it will come about that all who see you Will shrink from you and say, ’Nineveh is devastated! Who will grieve for her?’ Where will I seek comforters for you?"
8 Are you better than No-amon, Which was situated by the waters of the Nile, With water surrounding her, Whose rampart was the sea, Whose wall consisted of the sea?
9 Ethiopia was her might, And Egypt too, without limits. Put and Lubim were among her helpers.
We pray that this ministry will be a blessing to you and your family.
