Nahum 3:6 - Clarke's commentary and critical notes on the Bible

And I will cast abominable filth upon thee, and make thee vile, and will set thee as a gazingstock. I will cast abominable filth upon thee - I will set thee as a gazing-stock. This was a punishment precisely like our pillory. They put such women in the pillory as a gazing-stock; and then, children and others threw mud, dirt, and filth of all kinds at them.
