Nahum 2:13
_ _ burn ... in the smoke — or (so as to pass) “into smoke,” that is, “entirely” [Maurer], (Psalms 37:20; Psalms 46:9). Calvin, like English Version, explains, As soon as the flame catches, and the fire smokes, by the mere smoke I will burn her chariots.
_ _ cut off thy prey from the earth — Thou shalt no more carry off prey from the nations of the earth.
_ _ the voice of thy messengers ... no more ... heard — No more shall thy emissaries be heard throughout thy provinces conveying thy king’s commands, and exacting tribute of subject nations. |
Nahum 2:13
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
Behold, I [am] against thee, saith the LORD of hosts, and I will burn her chariots in the (m) smoke, and the sword shall devour thy young lions: and I will cut off thy prey from the earth, and the voice of thy (n) messengers shall no more be heard.
(m) That is, as soon as my wrath begins to burn.
(n) Signifying the heralds, who were accustomed to proclaim war. Some read, "of you gum teeth", with which Nineveh was accustomed to bruise the bones of the poor. |
