Nahum 1:12-14
_ _ The same truths repeated as in Nahum 1:9-11, Jehovah here being the speaker. He addresses Judah, prophesying good to it, and evil to the Assyrian.
_ _ Though they be quiet — that is, without fear, and tranquilly secure. So Chaldee and Calvin. Or, “entire,” “complete”; “Though their power be unbroken [Maurer], and though they be so many, yet even so they shall be cut down” (literally, “shorn”; as hair shaved off closely by a razor, Isaiah 7:20). As the Assyrian was a razor shaving others, so shall he be shaven himself. Retribution in kind. In the height of their pride and power, they shall be clean cut off. The same Hebrew stands for “likewise” and “yet thus.” So many as they are, so many shall they perish.
_ _ when he shall pass through — or, “and he shall pass away,” namely, “the wicked counsellor” (Nahum 1:11), Sennacherib. The change of number to the singular distinguishes him from his host. They shall be cut down, he shall pass away home (2 Kings 19:35, 2 Kings 19:36) [Henderson]. English Version is better, “they shall be cut down, “when” He (Jehovah) shall pass through,” destroying by one stroke the Assyrian host. This gives the reason why they with all their numbers and power are to be so utterly cut off. Compare “pass through,” that is, in destroying power (Ezekiel 12:12, Ezekiel 12:23; Isaiah 8:8; Daniel 11:10).
_ _ Though I have afflicted thee — Judah, “I will afflict thee no more” (Isaiah 40:1, Isaiah 40:2; Isaiah 52:1, Isaiah 52:2). The contrast is between “they,” the Assyrians, and “thee,” Judah. Their punishment is fatal and final. Judah’s was temporary and corrective. |
Nahum 1:12
They — The Assyrians. Quiet — Be secure, and fear no dangers. Yet thus — Irresistible, suddenly, and universally. He — The angel of the Lord. Thee — O Israel, I will no more use that rod. |
Nahum 1:12
Thus saith the LORD; Though [they be] (n) quiet, and likewise many, yet thus shall they be cut down, when he shall pass through. Though I have afflicted thee, I will afflict thee no more.
(n) Though they think themselves in most safety, and of greatest strength, yet when God will pass by, he will destroy them: nonetheless, he comforts his Church, and promises to stop punishing them by the Assyrians. |

Isaiah 60:18-20 Violence shall no more be heard in thy land, wasting nor destruction within thy borders; but thou shalt call thy walls Salvation, and thy gates Praise. ...
