Nahum 2:13 - Wesley's Explanatory Notes

Bible Comments

I will burn her — Nineveh. In the smoke — The city being first plundered, then burnt; these chariots were burnt in that smoke. Thy prey — Cause thee to cease from making a prey any more. Thy messengers — Embassadors or muster — masters. Probably this refers to Rabshaketh who had blasphemed the living God. Those are not worthy to be heard again, that have once spoken reproachfully against God.

Nahum 2:13

13 Behold, I am against thee, saith the LORD of hosts, and I will burn her chariots in the smoke, and the sword shall devour thy young lions: and I will cut off thy prey from the earth, and the voice of thy messengers shall no more be heard.
