Nahum 3:2-4

Good News Translation

² Listen! The crack of the whip,
    the rattle of wheels,
    the gallop of horses,
    the jolting of chariots!
³ Cavalry troops charge,
    swords flash, spears gleam!
Corpses are piled high,
    dead bodies without number—
    men stumble over them!
⁴ Nineveh the whore is being punished.
Attractive and full of deadly charms,
    she enchanted nations and enslaved^[a] them.
