Nahum 3:6–7

6 I will pelt you with filth,

I will treat you with contempt

and make you a spectacle.

7 All who see you will flee from you and say,

‘Nineveh is in ruins—who will mourn for her?’

Where can I find anyone to comfort you?”

6 I will throw filth at you

and treat you with contempt

and make you a spectacle.

7 And all who look at you will shrink from you and say,

“Wasted is Nineveh; who will grieve for her?”

Where shall I seek comforters for you?

6 I will cover you with filth

and show the world how vile you really are.

7 All who see you will shrink back and say,

‘Nineveh lies in ruins.

Where are the mourners?’

Does anyone regret your destruction?”

6 I will cast abominable filth upon you,

Make you vile,

And make you a spectacle.

7 It shall come to pass that all who look upon you

Will flee from you, and say,

‘Nineveh is laid waste!

Who will bemoan her?’

Where shall I seek comforters for you?”

6 I will throw filthy garbage on you

and make a fool of you.

I will make people stare at you.

7 Everyone who sees you will run away and say,

‘Nineveh is in ruins. Who will cry for her?’

Nineveh, where will I find anyone to comfort you?”

6 And I will cast abominable filth upon thee, and make thee vile, and will set thee as a gazing-stock. 7 And it shall come to pass, that all they that look upon thee shall flee from thee, and say, Nineveh is laid waste: who will bemoan her? whence shall I seek comforters for thee?

6 And I will cast abominable filth upon thee, and make thee vile, and will set thee as a gazing stock. 7 And it shall come to pass, that all they that see thee shall flee from thee, and shall say, Nineveh is laid waste! Who will bemoan her? whence shall I seek comforters for thee?

6 I will throw filth on you. 

I will make you look like a fool. 

I will make you a sight to be seen. 

7 Everyone who sees you will run from you, saying, 

‘Nineveh has been violently destroyed! 

Who will feel sorry for her?’ 

Where can I find anyone to comfort you?” 

6 I will throw filth on you

and treat you with contempt;

I will make a spectacle of you.

7 Then all who see you will recoil from you, saying,

“Nineveh is devastated;

who will show sympathy to her?”

Where can I find anyone to comfort you?

6 I will throw filth at you

and treat you with contempt

and make you a spectacle.

7 Then all who see you will shrink from you and say,

“Nineveh is devastated; who will bemoan her?”

Where shall I seek comforters for you?

6 “I will throw filth upon you,

I will treat you with contempt,

I will make you a spectacle.

7 “And it will be that everyone who sees you will flee from you,

And they will say, ‘Nineveh is destroyed!’

Who will mourn for her?

From whence shall I seek comforters for you?”

6 I will throw garbage at you.

I will look down on you.

I will make an example out of you.

7 All those who see you will run away from you.

They will say, ‘Nineveh is destroyed.

Who will sob over it?’

Where can I find someone

to comfort your people?”

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?”
