The Holy Bible Septuagint LXX Unaltered English Word-for-Word from Interlinear Greek

Nahum 2

2:1He is finished, he is consumed, the one being lifted away from out of affliction ascended breathing in your face. Watch the way! Hold the loin! Be very manly in strength!

2:2For the lord perverted the insolence of Jacob, as the insolence of Israel; for the ones shaking off shook them off, and they ruined their vine branches.

2:3The weapons of his command of men are mighty men mocking with fire; the reins of their chariots in the day of his preparation, and the horsemen shall be making a disruption.

2:4In the ways; the chariots shall be in tumult, and shall be closely joined in the squares; the sight of them as lamps of fire, and as lightnings running along.

2:5And their great men shall be remembering, and shall flee by day; and they shall be weak in their goings; and they shall hasten unto the walls, and they shall prepare their advance guards.

2:6Gates of the cities were opened wide, and the palaces fell into ruin,

2:7and the support was uncovered; and she ascended, and her maidservants were led away as doves, uttering sounds in their hearts.

2:8And Nineveh, her waters are as a pool of water; and they fleeing did not stand, and there was none paying attention.

2:9They plundered the silver, they plundered the gold, and there was no limit to her decoration; they were weighed down by all her desirable items.

2:10Thrusting and violent shaking, and tumult, and heart breaking, and loosening of the knees, and pangs on every loin, and the face of all as a burnt earthen pot.

2:11Where is the home of the lions, and the pasture being to the cubs? Where did the lion go, for the lion cub to enter there, and there was none frightening?

2:12The lion seized by force the things fit for his cubs, and choked prey for his young lions, and filled his nest with game, and his home of things of seizure.

2:13Behold, I am against you, says the lord almighty, and I will burn away your multitude in smoke, and your lions I will devour by the broadsword, and I will utterly destroy your game from out of the land, and in no way should your works be heard of yet.
