Bible. Nahum
34:002:002 For the LORD hath turned away the excellency of Jacob, as the
excellency of Israel: for the emptiers have emptied them out,
and marred their vine branches.
34:002:003 The shield of his mighty men is made red, the valiant men are
in scarlet: the chariots shall be with flaming torches in the
day of his preparation, and the fir trees shall be terribly
shaken.
34:002:004 The chariots shall rage in the streets, they shall justle one
against another in the broad ways: they shall seem like
torches, they shall run like the lightnings.
34:002:005 He shall recount his worthies: they shall stumble in their
walk; they shall make haste to the wall thereof, and the
defence shall be prepared.
34:002:006 The gates of the rivers shall be opened, and the palace shall
be dissolved.
34:002:007 And Huzzab shall be led away captive, she shall be brought up,
and her maids shall lead her as with the voice of doves,
tabering upon their breasts.
34:002:008 But Nineveh is of old like a pool of water: yet they shall
flee away. Stand, stand, shall they cry; but none shall look
back.

34:002:010 She is empty, and void, and waste: and the heart melteth, and
the knees smite together, and much pain is in all loins, and
the faces of them all gather blackness.
34:002:011 Where is the dwelling of the lions, and the feedingplace of
the young lions, where the lion, even the old lion, walked,
and the lion's whelp, and none made them afraid?
34:002:012 The lion did tear in pieces enough for his whelps, and
strangled for his lionesses, and filled his holes with prey,
and his dens with ravin.
34:002:013 Behold, I am against thee, saith the LORD of hosts, and I will
burn her chariots in the smoke, and the sword shall devour thy
young lions: and I will cut off thy prey from the earth, and
the voice of thy messengers shall no more be heard.
34:003:001 Woe to the bloody city! it is all full of lies and robbery;
the prey departeth not;
34:003:002 The noise of a whip, and the noise of the rattling of the
wheels, and of the pransing horses, and of the jumping
chariots.
34:003:003 The horseman lifteth up both the bright sword and the
glittering spear: and there is a multitude of slain, and a

corpses; they stumble upon their corpses:
