2 The crack of whips, the clatter of wheels, galloping horses and jolting chariots!
2 The noise of a whip, and the noise of the rattling of the wheels, and of the pransing horses, and of the jumping chariots.
2 The crack of the whip, and rumble of the wheel, galloping horse and bounding chariot!
2 Horns blaring, wheels clattering, horses rearing, chariots lurching,
2 The noise of a whip And the noise of rattling wheels, Of galloping horses, Of clattering chariots!
2 Hear the crack of whips, the rumble of wheels! Horses' hooves pound, and chariots clatter wildly.
Matthew Henry's Commentary on Nahum 3:2
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.
