Nahum / Question
Question source
Nahum
Nahum depicts nonstop warfare—whips cracking, wheels rumbling, and piles of dead—to show the cost of Nineveh’s actions. The chapter links this violence to guilt described as “countless” because of the city’s ways (Nahum 3:2–4).
2The noise of the whip, the noise of the rattling of wheels, prancing horses, and bounding chariots,
3the horseman mounting, and the flashing sword, the glittering spear, and a multitude of slain, and a great heap of corpses, and there is no end of the bodies. They stumble on their bodies,
4because of the multitude of the prostitution of the alluring prostitute, the mistress of witchcraft, who sells nations through her prostitution, and families through her witchcraft.
