Nahum 3

The miserable ruin of Nineveh.

 3:1 ¶ Woe 1945 to the bloody 1818 City, 5892 it [is] all x3605 full 4392 of lyes 3585 [and] robberie, 6563 the pray 2964 departeth 4185 z8686 not. x3808

 3:2 The noise 6963 of a whip, 7752 and the noise 6963 of the rattling 7494 of the wheeles, 212 and of the praunsing 1725 z8802 horses, 5483 and of the iumping 7540 z8764 charets. 4818

 3:3 The horseman 6571 lifteth vp 5927 z8688 both the bright 3851 sword, 2719 & the glittering 1300 speare, 2595 and [there is] a multitude 7230 of slaine, 2491 and a great y3514 number x3514 of carkeises: 6297 and [there is] none x369 ende 7097 of their corpses: 1472 they stumble 3782 z8804 z8675 z8735 vpon their corpses, 1472

 3:4 Because of the multitude 7230 x4480 of the whoredomes 2183 of the wel-fauoured 2896 2580 harlot, 2181 z8802 the mistresse 1172 of witchcrafts, 3785 that selleth 4376 z8802 nations 1471 through her whoredomes, 2183 and families 4940 through her witchcrafts. 3785

 3:5 Behold, x2009 I [am] against x413 thee, saith 5002 z8803 the LORD 3068 of hostes, 6635 and I will discouer 1540 z8765 thy skirtes 7757 vpon x5921 thy face, 6440 and I will shew 7200 z8689 the nations 1471 thy nakednesse, 4626 and the kingdomes 4467 thy shame. 7036

 3:6 And I will cast 7993 z8689 abominable filth 8251 vpon x5921 thee, and make thee vile, 5034 z8765 and will set 7760 z8804 thee as a gazing stocke. 7210

 3:7 And it shall come to passe, x1961 [that] all x3605 they that looke y7200 z8802 vpon x7200 thee, shall flee 5074 z8799 from x4480 thee, and say; 559 z8804 Nineueh 5210 is layde waste, 7703 z8795 who x4310 will bemoane 5110 z8799 her? whence 370 x4480 shall I seeke 1245 z8762 comforters 5162 z8764 for thee?

 3:8 Art thou better 3190 z8686 then populous 528 y527 z8675 No, 4996 x4480 that was scituate 3427 z8802 among the riuers 2975 [that had] the waters 4325 round about 5439 it, whose x834 rampart 2426 [was] the sea, 3220 [and] her wall 2346 [was] from the sea? 3220 x4480

 3:9 Ethiopia 3568 and Egypt 4714 [were] her strength, 6109 and [it was] infinit, 369 7097 Put 6316 and Lubim 3864 were x1961 thy helpers. 5833

 3:10 Yet x1571 [was] she x1931 caried away, 1473 she went 1980 z8804 into captiuitie: 7628 her yong children 5768 also x1571 were dashed in pieces 7376 z8792 at the top 7218 of all x3605 the streetes: 2351 and they cast 3032 z8804 lots 1486 for x5921 her honourable men, 3513 z8737 and all x3605 her great men 1419 were bound 7576 z8795 in chaines. 2131

 3:11 Thou x859 also x1571 shalt be drunken: 7937 z8799 thou shalt bee x1961 hid, 5956 z8737 thou x859 also x1571 shalt seeke 1245 z8762 strength 4581 because of the enemie. 341 z8802 x4480

 3:12 All x3605 thy strong holds 4013 [shall be like] fig trees 8384 with x5973 the first ripe figs: 1061 if x518 they bee shaken, 5128 z8735 they shall euen fall 5307 z8804 into x5921 the mouth 6310 of the eater. 398 z8802

 3:13 Beholde, x2009 thy people 5971 in the midst 7130 of thee [are] women: 802 the gates 8179 of thy land 776 shall be set wide y6605 z8800 open 6605 z8738 vnto thine enemies, 341 z8802 the fire 784 shall deuoure 398 z8804 thy barres. 1280

 3:14 Draw 7579 z8798 thee waters 4325 for the siege: 4692 fortifie 2388 z8761 thy strong holdes, 4013 goe 935 z8798 into clay, 2916 and tread 7429 z8798 the morter: 2563 make strong 2388 z8685 the bricke-kill. 4404

 3:15 There x8033 shall the fire 784 deuoure 398 z8799 thee: the sword 2719 shall cut thee off: 3772 z8686 it shall eate thee vp 398 z8799 like the cankerworme: 3218 make thy selfe many 3513 z8690 as the cankerworme, 3218 make thy selfe many 3513 z8690 as the locusts. 697

 3:16 Thou hast multiplied 7235 z8689 thy merchants 7402 z8802 aboue the starres 3556 x4480 of heauen; 8064 the cankerworme 3218 spoileth 6584 z8804 & flieth away. 5774 z8799

 3:17 The crowned 4502 [are] as the locusts, 697 and thy captains 2951 as the great grashoppers 1462 which campe 2583 z8802 in the hedges 1448 in the cold 7135 day: 3117 [but] when the Sunne 8121 ariseth, 2224 z8804 they flee away, 5074 z8776 and their place 4725 is not knowen 3045 z8738 x3808 where 335 they [are].

 3:18 Thy shepheards 7462 z8802 slumber, 5123 z8804 O king 4428 of Assyria: 804 thy nobles 117 shall dwell 7931 z8799 [in the dust]: thy people 5971 is scattered 6335 z8738 vpon x5921 the mountaines, 2022 & no man x369 gathereth 6908 z8764 [them].

 3:19 There is no x369 healing 3545 of thy bruise: 7667 thy wound 4347 is grieuous: 2470 z8737 all x3605 that heare 8085 z8802 the bruit 8088 of thee, shall clap 8628 z8804 the hands 3709 ouer x5921 thee; for x3588 vpon x5921 whom x4310 hath not x3808 thy wickednesse 7451 passed 5674 z8804 continually? 8548
