He prophesied, after +the ten tribes were carried into captivity, and foretold the utter +destruction of Ninive, by the Babylonians and Medes: which happened in +the reign of JOSIAS. + + +Nahum Chapter 1 + +The majesty of God, his goodness to his people, and severity to his +enemies. + +1:1. The burden of Ninive. The book of the vision of Nahum, the +Elcesite. + +1:2. The Lord is a jealous God, and a revenger: the Lord is a revenger, +and hath wrath: the Lord taketh vengeance on his adversaries, and he is +angry with his enemies. + +1:3. The Lord is patient, and great in power, and will not cleanse and +acquit the guilty. The Lord's ways are in a tempest, and a whirlwind, +and clouds are the dust of his feet. + +1:4. He rebuketh the sea and drieth it up: and bringeth all the rivers +to be a desert. Basan languisheth and Carmel: and the flower of Libanus +fadeth away. + +1:5. The mountains tremble at him, and the hills are made desolate: and +the earth hath quaked at his presence, and the world, and all that dwell +therein. + +1:6. Who can stand before the face of his indignation? and who shall +resist in the fierceness of his anger? his indignation is poured out +like fire: and the rocks are melted by him. + +1:7. The Lord is good, and giveth strength in the day of trouble: and +knoweth them that hope in him. + +1:8. But with a flood that passeth by, he will make an utter end of the +place thereof: and darkness shall pursue his enemies. + +Of the place thereof... Viz., of Ninive. + +1:9. What do ye devise against the Lord? he will make an utter end: +there shall not rise a double affliction. + +1:10. For as thorns embrace one another: so while they are feasting and +drinking together, they shall be consumed as stubble that is fully dry. + +1:11. Out of thee shall come forth one that imagineth evil against the +Lord, contriving treachery in his mind. + +Shall come forth one, etc... Some understand this of Sennacherib. But as +his attempt against the people seems to have been prior to the prophecy +of Nahum, we may better understand it of Holofernes. + +1:12. Thus saith the Lord: Though they were perfect: and many of them +so, yet thus shall they be cut off, and he shall pass: I have afflicted +thee, and I will afflict thee no more. + +Though they were perfect, etc... That is, however strong or numerous +their forces may be, they shall be cut off; and their prince or leader +shall pass away and disappear. + +1:13. And now I will break in pieces his rod with which he struck thy +back, and I will burst thy bonds asunder. + +1:14. And the Lord will give a commandment concerning thee, that no more +of thy name shall be sown: I will destroy the graven and molten thing +out of the house of thy God, I will make it thy grave, for thou art +disgraced. + +Will give a commandment... That is, a decree, concerning thee, O king of +Ninive, thy seed shall fail, etc. + +1:15. Behold upon the mountains the feet of him that bringeth good +tidings, and that preacheth peace: O Juda, keep thy festivals, and pay +thy vows: for Belial shall no more pass through thee again, he is +utterly cut off. + +Belial... The wicked one, viz., the Assyrian. + +Nahum Chapter 2 + +God sends his armies against Ninive to destroy it. + +2:1. He is come up that shall destroy before thy face, that shall keep +the siege: watch the way, fortify thy loins, strengthen thy power +exceedingly. + +2:2. For the Lord hath rendered the pride of Jacob, as the pride of +Israel: because the spoilers have laid them waste, and have marred their +vine branches. + +Hath rendered the pride of Jacob, etc... He hath punished Jacob for his +pride; and therefore Ninive must not expect to escape. Or else, +rendering the pride of Jacob means rewarding, that is, punishing Ninive +for the pride they exercised against Jacob. + +2:3. The shield of his mighty men is like fire, the men of the army are +clad in scarlet, the reins of the chariot are flaming in the day of his +preparation, and the drivers are stupified. + +Of his mighty men, etc... He speaks of the Chaldeans and Medes sent to +destroy Ninive.-Ibid. Stupefied... consopiti. That is, they drive on +furiously like men intoxicated with wine. + +2:4. They are in confusion in the ways, the chariots jostle one against +another in the streets: their looks are like torches, like lightning +running to and fro. + +2:5. He will muster up his valiant men, they shall stumble in their +march: they shall quickly get upon the walls thereof: and a covering +shall be prepared. + +Stumble in their march... By running hastily on. + +2:6. The gates of the rivers are opened, and the temple is thrown down +to the ground. + +2:7. And the soldier is led away captive: and her bondwomen were led +away mourning as doves, murmuring in their hearts. + +2:8. And as for Ninive, her waters are like a great pool: but the men +flee away. They cry: Stand, stand, but there is none that will return +back. + +2:9. Take ye the spoil of the silver, take the spoil of the gold: for +there is no end of the riches of all the precious furniture. + +2:10. She is destroyed, and rent, and torn: the heart melteth, and the +knees fail, and all the loins lose their strength: and the faces of them +all are as the blackness of a kettle. + +2:11. Where is now the dwelling of the lions, and the feeding place of +the young lions, to which the lion went, to enter in thither, the young +lion, and there was none to make them afraid? + +2:12. The lion caught enough for his whelps, and killed for his +lionesses: and he filled his holes with prey, and his den with rapine. + +2:13. Behold I come against thee, saith the Lord of hosts, and I will +burn thy chariots even to smoke, and the sword shall devour thy young +lions: and I will cut off thy prey out of the land, and the voice of thy +messengers shall be heard no more. + +Nahum Chapter 3 + +The miserable destruction of Ninive. + +3:1. Woe to thee, 0 city of blood, all full of lies and violence: rapine +shall not depart from thee. + +3:2. The noise of the whip, and the noise of the rattling of the wheels, +and of the neighing horse; and of the running chariot, and of the +horsemen coming up, + +3:3. And of the shining sword, and of the glittering spear, and of a +multitude slain, and of a grievous destruction: and there is no end of +carcasses, and they shall fall down on their dead bodies. + +3:4. Because of the multitude of the fornications of the harlot that was +beautiful and agreeable, and that made use of witchcraft, that sold +nations through her fornications, and families through her witchcrafts. + +3:5. Behold I come against thee, saith the Lord of hosts: and I will +discover thy shame to thy face, and will shew thy nakedness to the +nations, and thy shame to kingdoms. + +3:6. And I will cast abominations upon thee, and will disgrace thee, and +will make an example of thee. + +3:7. And it shall come to pass that every one that shall see thee, shall +flee from thee, and shall say: Ninive is laid waste: who shall bemoan +thee? whence shall I seek a comforter for thee? + +3:8. Art thou better than the populous Alexandria, that dwelleth among +the rivers? waters are round about it: the sea is its riches: the waters +are its walls. + +Populous Alexandria... No-Ammon. A populous city of Egypt destroyed by +the Chaldeans, and afterwards rebuilt by Alexander, and called +Alexandria. Others suppose No-Ammon to be the same as Diospolis. + +3:9. Ethiopia and Egypt were the strength thereof, and there is no end: +Africa and the Libyans were thy helpers. + +3:10. Yet she also was removed and carried into cap-tivity: her young +children were dashed in pieces at the top of every street, and they cast +lots upon her nobles, and all her great men were bound in fetters. + +3:11. Therefore thou also shalt be made drunk, and shalt be despised: +and thou shalt seek help from the enemies. + +3:12. All thy strong holds shall be like fig trees with their green +figs: if they be shaken, they shall fall into the mouth of the eater. + +3:13. Behold thy people in the midst of thee are women: the gates of thy +land shall be set wide open to thy enemies, the fire shall devour thy +bars. + +3:14. Draw thee water for the siege, build up thy bulwarks: go into the +clay, and tread, work it and make brick. + +3:15. There shall the fire devour thee: thou shalt perish by the sword, +it shall devour thee like the bruchus: assemble together like the +bruchus, make thyself many like the locust. + +3:16. Thou hast multiplied thy merchandises above the stars of heaven: +the bruchus hath spread himself and flown away. + +3:17. Thy guards are like the locusts: and thy little ones like the +locusts of locusts which swarm on the hedges in the day of cold: the sun +arose, and they flew away, and their place was not known where they +were. + +Locusts of locusts... The young locusts. + +3:18. Thy shepherds have slumbered, O king of Assyria, thy princes shall +be buried: thy people are hid in the mountains, and there is none to +gather them. + +3:19. Thy destruction is not hidden, thy wound is grievous: all that +have heard the fame of thee, have clapped their hands over thee: for +upon whom hath not thy wickedness passed continually? + + + + + +*** END OF THE PROJECT GUTENBERG EBOOK, THE BIBLE, DOUAY-RHEIMS, BOOK 39 *** + +*********** This file should be named 8339.txt or 8339.zip *********** + +Produced by David Widger + +Project Gutenberg eBooks are often created from several printed +editions, all of which are confirmed as Public Domain in the US +unless a copyright notice is included.
