Nahum 2

Verses of Nahum 2 of the NIV from the book of the bible

KJV ASV NIV NKJV

1 - An attacker advances against you, Nineveh. Guard the fortress, watch the road, brace yourselves, marshal all your strength!
2 - The LORD will restore the splendor of Jacob like the splendor of Israel, though destroyers have laid them waste and have ruined their vines.
3 - The shields of his soldiers are red; the warriors are clad in scarlet. The metal on the chariots flashes on the day they are made ready; the spears of pine are brandished.
4 - The chariots storm through the streets, rushing back and forth through the squares. They look like flaming torches; they dart about like lightning.
5 - He summons his picked troops, yet they stumble on their way. They dash to the city wall; the protective shield is put in place.
6 - The river gates are thrown open and the palace collapses.
7 - It is decreed that the city be exiled and carried away. Its slave girls moan like doves and beat upon their breasts.
8 - Nineveh is like a pool, and its water is draining away. "Stop! Stop!" they cry, but no one turns back.
9 - Plunder the silver! Plunder the gold! The supply is endless, the wealth from all its treasures!
10 - She is pillaged, plundered, stripped! Hearts melt, knees give way, bodies tremble, every face grows pale.
11 - Where now is the lions' den, the place where they fed their young, where the lion and lioness went, and the cubs, with nothing to fear?
12 - The lion killed enough for his cubs and strangled the prey for his mate, filling his lairs with the kill and his dens with the prey.
13 - "I am against you," declares the LORD Almighty. "I will burn up your chariots in smoke, and the sword will devour your young lions. I will leave you no prey on the earth. The voices of your messengers will no longer be heard."
