The Pulpit Commentary - Nahum 1:8-15

Spiritual redemption symbolized. The expression in Nahum 1:11 , "a wicked counsellor," is rendered in the margin "counsellor of Belial." "Belial" is used in the Old Testament to indicate sensual profligacy ( 19:1-30 : 22:13; 1 Samuel 2:12 ); and in the New Testament as a synonym for Satan ( 2 Corinthians 6:15 ). The term was here ( Nahum 1:11 ) applied to Sennacherib; and the deliverance of Judah from the vauntings and oppressions of this mighty and evil Assyrian monarch... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Nahum 1:9

The prophet suddenly addresses both Jews and Assyrians, encouraging the former by the thought that God can perform what he promises, and warning the latter that their boasting (comp. Isaiah 10:9 , etc.; Isaiah 36:20 ) was vain. What do ye imagine against the Lord? Quid cogitatis contra Dominum? (Vulgate). This rendering regards the question as addressed to the Assyrians, demanding of them what it is that they dare to plot against God; do they presume to fight against him, or to fancy... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Nahum 1:9-10

Sin. "What do ye imagine against the Lord? He will make an utter end: affliction shall not rise up the second time. For while they be folden together as thorns, and while they are drunken as drunkards, they shall be devoured as stubble fully dry." These words suggest a few thoughts concerning sin. I. THE ESSENCE OF SIN IS SUGGESTED ; IT IS HOSTILITY TO GOD . It is something directed against the Lord: it is opposition to the laws, purposes, spirit of God. "The... read more

A wicked counsellor. I. HIS PERSON . 1 . The Assyrian power. Represented in Hezekiah's reign by Sennacherib; in Manasseh's (Nahum's time) by Esar-haddon or Assurbanipal; in each successive reign by the ruling sovereign. 2 . The unbelieving world. Of this Assyria was now the symbol, as in former times Egypt had been, as in later days Rome was ( John 15:18 ; James 4:4 ). 3 . The unrenewed heart. The curtal mind is enmity against God ( Romans 8:7 ). II. HIS ... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Nahum 1:10

While they be folden together as thorns. The clause is conditional: "Though they be interwined as thorns." Though the Assyrians present an impenetrable front, which seems to defy attack. (For the comparison of a hostile army to briers and thorns, see Isaiah 10:17 ; Isaiah 27:4 ; Henderson.) And while they are drunken as drunkards ; and though they be drunken with their drink , regarding themselves as invincible, and drenched with wine, and given up to luxury and excess. There may be... read more

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - Nahum 1:9

The prophet had in few words summed up the close of Nineveh; he now upbraids them with the sin, which should bring it upon them, and foretells the destruction of Sennacherib. Nineveh had, before this, been the instrument of chastising Israel and Judah. Now, the capture of Samaria, which had cast off God, deceived and emboldened it. Its king thought that this was the might of his own arm; and likened the Lord of heaven and earth to the idols of the pagan, and said, “Who are they among all the... read more

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - Nahum 1:10

For while they be leiden together as thorns - that is, as confused, intertwined, sharp, piercing, hard to be touched, rending and tearing whosoever would interfere with its tangled ways, and seemingly compact together and strong; “and while they are drunken as their drink” , not “drinkers” only but literally, “drunken,” swallowed up, as it were, by their drink which they had swallowed, mastered, overcome, powerless, “they shall be derogated as stubble fully dry” , rapidly, in an instant, with... read more

Joseph Benson's Commentary of the Old and New Testaments - Nahum 1:9-10

Nahum 1:9-10. What do ye imagine against the Lord? Having declared the dreadfulness of God’s power and anger against the wicked, his goodness toward his people, and denounced future destruction against the Ninevites; he now expostulates with them, inquiring what it is they design against God, and on what ground they flatter themselves into such an attempt: as if he had said, What a foolish and wicked thing it is for you to plot against Jehovah, as if you could outwit infinite wisdom, and... read more

Bridgeway Bible Commentary - Nahum 1:1-15

1:1-15 THE POWER OF GODGod is the great judge, the all-powerful ruler of the universe. On the one hand he is patient with the rebellious, but on the other he is zealous for righteousness. His punishment of the guilty is severe, but it is also just (1:1-3a). Through storms, winds, droughts and earthquakes he sends judgments that bring total destruction. When his wrath is poured out on sinners, no one can escape (3b-6).Being so mighty, God can protect those who trust in him, and destroy those who... read more
