Geneva Study Bible - Nahum 1:12
1:12 Thus saith the LORD; Though [they be] {n} quiet, and likewise many, yet thus shall they be cut down, when he shall pass through. Though I have afflicted thee, I will afflict thee no more.(n) Though they think themselves in most safety, and of greatest strength, yet when God will pass by, he will destroy them: nonetheless, he comforts his Church, and promises to stop punishing them by the Assyrians. read more

James Gray's Concise Bible Commentary - Nahum 1:1-15
NAHUM CONSOLATION FOR ISRAEL Isaiah concludes his work at about the end of Hezekiah’s reign, which synchronizes with the captivity of the ten tribes of Israel by the Assyrians. At this period of perplexity, when the overthrow of Samaria (the capital of Israel) must have suggested to Judah fears for her own safety, when Jerusalem (the capital of Judah) had been drained of its treasure by Hezekiah in the vain hope of turning the fury of the Assyrians from her, and when rumors of the conquest of... read more

The People's Bible by Joseph Parker - Nahum 1:1-15
The Burden of Nineveh Nahum 1:0 There is a sense in which every prophet must make a burden of his work. If he himself had to do it all it would be nothing but burden. Instead of idealising the word, making it poetical, bringing up before the eye of the mind some stalwart pilgrim carrying his easy load upon his shoulder, think of it as a man whose heart is sore because of the wickedness of the people, whose sleep is taken away from him because night is turned into a day of wickedness and wrath.... read more

Hawker's Poor Man's Commentary - Nahum 1:9-14
It is very evident that the Prophet's whole discourse is directed to warn the Ninevites, who thought of destroying Israel, that they should thereby only hasten their own destruction. And the event in the history of that people have so proved. Reader! turn to that sweet scripture promise upon this and every other occasion, for it is a promise that never hath failed or can fail; and may be applied as opportunities need, for God's people in all ages. Isaiah 55:13 . In both spiritual concerns, and... read more

George Haydock's Catholic Bible Commentary - Nahum 1:11
Forth. Some understand this of Sennacherib. But as his attempt against the people seems to have been prior to the prophecy of Nahum, we may better understand it of Holofernes. (Challoner) --- One. Septuagint, "a most wicked thought against the Lord, devising opposition." (Haydock) --- We may render, "hath come," &c., alluding to Sennacherib and Rabsaces, Isaias xxxvi. 18. and xxxvii. 23.

Perfect. That is, however strong or numerous their forces may be, they shall be cut off, and their prince or leader shall pass away and disappear. (Challoner) --- If there were many just at Ninive, or among the Jews, (Calmet) a moderate chastisement would suffice. (Haydock) --- The latter have been afflicted; now their enemies shall suffer. Septuagint have read otherwise: (Calmet) "the Lord, reigning over the great waters; thus shall they be divided, and thou shalt be heard of no more."... read more

Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary on the Bible - Nahum 1:9-15
9-15 There is a great deal plotted against the Lord by the gates of hell, and against his kingdom in the world; but it will prove in vain. With some sinners God makes quick despatch; and one way or other, he will make an utter end of all his enemies. Though they are quiet, and many very secure, and not in fear, they shall be cut down as grass and corn, when the destroying angel passes through. God would hereby work great deliverance for his own people. But those who make themselves vile by... read more
