6 And I will cast abominable filth upon thee, and make thee vile, and will set thee as a gazingstock.
6 I will pelt you with filth, I will treat you with contempt and make you a spectacle.
6 I will throw filth at you and treat you with contempt and make you a spectacle.
6 I'll pelt you with dog dung and place you on a pedestal: 'Slut on Exhibit.'
6 I will cast abominable filth upon you, Make you vile, And make you a spectacle.
6 I will cover you with filth and show the world how vile you really are.
Matthew Henry's Commentary on Nahum 3:6
Commentary on Nahum 3:1-7
(Read Nahum 3:1-7)
When proud sinners are brought down, others should learn not to lift themselves up. The fall of this great city should be a lesson to private persons, who increase wealth by fraud and oppression. They are preparing enemies for themselves; and if the Lord sees good to punish them in this world, they will have none to pity them. Every man who seeks his own prosperity, safety, and peace, should not only act in an upright, honourable manner, but with kindness to all.
