It is all full of lies and robbery. The prey doesn't depart.<p> <span class="reftext"><a href="//biblehub.com/nahum/3-2.htm"><b>2</b></a></span>The noise of the whip, the noise of the rattling of wheels, prancing horses, and bounding chariots,<p> <span class="reftext"><a href="//biblehub.com/nahum/3-3.htm"><b>3</b></a></span>the 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,<p> <span class="reftext"><a href="//biblehub.com/nahum/3-4.htm"><b>4</b></a></span>because 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.<p> <span class="reftext"><a href="//biblehub.com/nahum/3-5.htm"><b>5</b></a></span>"Look, I am against you," says the LORD of hosts, "and I will lift your skirts over your face.
