那鸿书 3:5 RCUVSS

Joseph Benson's Commentary of the Old and New Testaments - Nahum 3:5-7

Nahum 3:5-7. Behold, I will discover thy skirts, &c., upon thy face Nineveh, as a harlot, had been proud, and appeared beautiful and gay in the gifts of her lovers, but now God would deal with her according to her ways, would send her into captivity naked and bare, exposed to the greatest infamy, or would deal with her as inhuman soldiers deal with captive women. And I will show, &c. I will expose thy shame to the world, a punishment often inflicted upon harlots: see note on... read more

Bridgeway Bible Commentary - Nahum 3:1-19

Destroyed because of greed (3:1-19)Not only was Assyria cruel, but it was also greedy. Often it conquered nations solely to plunder them. Nahum likens it to a prostitute, for it thought only of money and pleasure and gave no thought for morality. The prophet gives another vivid picture of the battle scene in Nineveh as God acts in judgment against the guilty people (3:1-4).Like a prostitute Nineveh dressed herself with lavish adornments and lived in luxury by tempting and deceiving others. Her... read more

Coffman Commentaries on the Bible - Nahum 3:5

"Behold, I am against thee, saith Jehovah of hosts, and I will uncover thy skirts upon thy face; and I will show the nations thy nakedness, and the kingdoms thy shame.""Uncover thy skirts ..." "This seems to have been a part of the punishment for fornication and adultery (Jeremiah 13:22,26f; Ezekiel 16:36; and Hosea 2:8,9)."[14] Also, based upon Assyrian inscriptions and monuments, Billerbeck and Jeremias' conclusion was that, "It was an Assyrian method of treating female captives."[15] The... read more

Commentary Critical and Explanatory on the Whole Bible - Nahum 3:5

5. I will discover thy skirts upon thy face—that is, discover thy nakedness by throwing up thy skirts upon thy face (the greatest possible insult), pulling them up as as high as thy head (Jeremiah 13:22; Ezekiel 16:37-41). I will treat thee not as a matron, but as a harlot whose shame is exposed; her gaudy finery being lifted up off her (Isaiah 47:2; Isaiah 47:3). So Nineveh shall be stripped of all her glory and defenses on which she prides herself. read more

3. The third description of Nineveh’s fall 3:1-7This description explains further the "why" for Nineveh’s fall whereas the first two descriptions in the previous chapter gave more of the actual events, the "what" of it. There is much similarity between the descriptions of the siege in Nahum 2:3-4 and Nahum 3:2-3, however. This section has been called a woe oracle because it pronounces doom on Nineveh in typical woe oracle fashion (cf. Isaiah 5:18-19; Amos 5:18-20; Amos 6:1-7; Micah 2:1-4).... read more

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Nahum 3:5

Almighty Yahweh repeated that He was against Nineveh (cf. Nahum 2:13). He would expose her shamefulness because of her shameless acts, as when someone lifted the skirt of a lady over her head so high that he covered her face with it (cf. Isaiah 47:1-3; Jeremiah 13:26-27; Ezekiel 16:37; Hosea 2:3-5; Revelation 17:15-16). Nakedness was a great shame in the ancient world. She who had enslaved the nations (Nahum 3:4) would have her own nakedness exposed to them. read more

John Dummelow's Commentary on the Bible - Nahum 3:1-19

The Doom of Nineveh1-7. Another threat against Nineveh, showing that disaster has come upon her on account of her sins. The keynote of the whole chapter is the fierce cry, Woe to the bloody city! it is all full of lies, etc. In ancient states the capital was virtually the kingdom, and to Nineveh are here ascribed all the characteristics of the Assyrian monarchy. The cruelties perpetrated by the Assyrians were shocking. Captive princes who had offered resistance in defence of their country were... read more

Charles John Ellicott

Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers - Nahum 3:4-6

(4-6) Because of the multitude.—In the idolatry and superstition of Nineveh the prophet finds the cause of her destruction. Perversion of religious instinct is frequently denounced under the same figure in Scripture. Here, however, a more literal interpretation is possible, since there is reason to believe the religious rites of Assyria were characterised, like those of Babylon, by gross sensuality. According to Herod, i. 199, the Babylonian worship of Beltis or Mylitta was connected with a... read more
