Nahum 3:3 Context
1Woe to the bloody City, it is all full of lyes and robberie, the pray departeth not. 2The noise of a whip, and the noise of the rattling of the wheeles, and of the praunsing horses, and of the iumping charets. 3The horseman lifteth vp both the bright sword, & the glittering speare, and there is a multitude of slaine, and a great number of carkeises: and there is none ende of their corpses: they stumble vpon their corpses, 4Because of the multitude of the whoredomes of the wel-fauoured harlot, the mistresse of witchcrafts, that selleth nations through her whoredomes, and families through her witchcrafts. 5Behold, I am against thee, saith the Lord of hostes, and I will discouer thy skirtes vpon thy face, and I will shew the nations thy nakednesse, and the kingdomes thy shame.
