Nahum 3:3-5
Good News Translation
3 Cavalry troops charge,
swords flash, spears gleam!
Corpses are piled high,
dead bodies without number—
men stumble over them!
4 Nineveh the whore is being punished.
Attractive and full of deadly charms,
she enchanted nations and enslaved[a] them.
5 The Lord Almighty says,
“I will punish you, Nineveh!
I will strip you naked
and let the nations see you,
see you in all your shame.

3 Charging cavalry,
flashing swords
and glittering spears!
Many casualties,
piles of dead,
bodies without number,
people stumbling over the corpses(A)—
4 all because of the wanton lust of a prostitute,
alluring, the mistress of sorceries,(B)
who enslaved nations by her prostitution(C)
and peoples by her witchcraft.
