Coffman Commentaries on the Bible - Nahum 3:15

"There shall the fire devour thee; the sword shall cut thee off; it shall devour thee like the cankerworm; make thyself many as the cankerworm, make thyself many as the locust."It is a feature of Hebrew prophecy that sometimes a figure of speech (as the simile here) is used with multiple meanings. In the first part of this verse, the sword of vengeance is compared to the locust plague; but in the second half of Nahum 3:15, and in Nahum 3:16, the Assyrians themselves are likened to locusts.... read more

Coffman Commentaries on the Bible - Nahum 3:16

"Thou hast multiplied thy merchants above the stars of heaven: the cankerworm ravageth, and fleeth away.""Above the stars of heaven ..." Nothing but a great swarm of locusts, or the stars of heaven, could be compared to the teeming population of Nineveh."The cankerworm ravageth, and fleeth away ..." This did not mean that the conquering army would ravage Nineveh and then go away, but that the locust-population of Nineveh itself, so long the ravaging power on the earth, would disappear, after... read more

16. multiplied thy merchants— (Ezekiel 27:23; Ezekiel 27:24). Nineveh, by large canals, had easy access to Babylon; and it was one of the great routes for the people of the west and northwest to that city; lying on the Tigris it had access to the sea. The Phoelignicians carried its wares everywhere. Hence its merchandise is so much spoken of. the cankerworm spoileth, and fleeth away—that is, spoiled thy merchants. The "cankerworm," or licking locust, answers to the Medo-Babylonian invaders of... read more

4. The fourth description of Nineveh’s fall 3:8-19This section, evidently another message that Nahum delivered concerning Nineveh’s fall, begins by comparing it to the fall of another great city. Nahum proceeded to use many figures of speech to describe how various segments of Ninevite society would respond to the coming invasion. The literary form of the section is that of a taunt song.

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Nahum 3:15

However if the Ninevites did strengthen their defenses, fire would consume them where they went to draw water and the sword would cut them down as they built. The walls of Nineveh would become the walls of her tomb rather than her defense."There was no question about the clear traces of the burning of the temple (as also in the palace of Sennacherib), for a layer of ash about two inches thick lay clearly defined in places on the southeast side about the level of the Sargon pavement." [Note: R.... read more

III. NINEVEH’S DESTRUCTION DESCRIBED 1:15-3:19This second major part of Nahum contains another introduction and four descriptions of Nineveh’s destruction. Having revealed general statements about Yahweh’s judgment, Nahum next communicated more specific descriptions of Nineveh’s demise. As in the previous section, he also gave promises of Israel’s restoration."Nahum portrays [the] siege, reproduces its horrors and its savagery, its cruelties and mercilessness, in language so realistic that one... read more
