Nahum 3:1-6 Contemporary English Version Anglicised (CEVUK00)

1. Doom to the crime capital!Nineveh, city of murderand treachery,

2. here is your fate—cracking whips,churning wheels;galloping horses,roaring chariots;

3. cavalry attacking,swords and spears flashing;soldiers stumblingover piles of dead bodies.

4. You were nothing morethan a prostituteusing your magical charmsand witchcraftto attract and trap nations.

5. But I, the Lord All-Powerful,am now your enemy.I will pull up your skirtand let nations and kingdomsstare at your nakedness.

6. I will cover you with rubbish,treat you like trash,and rub you in the dirt.
