Nahum - Prophecies against Nineveh

• 1:1 The oracle against Nineveh;
  the book of the vision of Nahum the Elkoshite:
• 1:8 But with an overwhelming flood
  he will make a complete end of Nineveh;
  he will drive his enemies into darkness.
• 1:10 Surely they will be totally consumed
  like entangled thorn bushes,
  like the drink of drunkards,
  like very dry stubble.
• 2:6 The sluice gates are opened;
  the royal palace is deluged and dissolves.
• 2:8 Nineveh was like a pool of water throughout her days,
  but now her people are running away;
  she cries out: “Stop! Stop!” —
  but no one turns back.
• 3:13 Your warriors will be like women in your midst;
  the gates of your land will be wide open to your enemies;
  fire will consume the bars of your gates.
