Nahum 3:5 in Context — Nahum 3

3 Les cavaliers s’élancent, l’épée étincelle, la lance brille… Une multitude de blessés!… une foule de cadavres!… Des morts à l’infini!… On tombe sur les morts!…

4 C’est à cause des nombreuses prostitutions de la prostituée, Pleine d’attraits, habile enchanteresse, Qui vendait les nations par ses prostitutions Et les peuples par ses enchantements.

5 Voici, j’en veux à toi, dit l’Éternel des armées, Je relèverai tes pans jusque sur ton visage, Je montrerai ta nudité aux nations, Et ta honte aux royaumes.

6 Je jetterai sur toi des impuretés, je t’avilirai, Et je te donnerai en spectacle.

7 Tous ceux qui te verront fuiront loin de toi, Et l’on dira: Ninive est détruite! Qui la plaindra? Où te chercherai-je des consolateurs?
