Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Commentary

Nahum 3:11

_ _ drunken — made to drink of the cup of Jehovah’s wrath (Isaiah 51:17, Isaiah 51:21; Jeremiah 25:15).

_ _ hid — covered out of sight: a prediction remarkably verified in the state in which the ruins of Nineveh have been found [G. V. Smith]. But as “hid” precedes “seek strength,” etc., it rather refers to Nineveh’s state when attacked by her foe: “Thou who now so vauntest thyself, shalt be compelled to seek a hiding-place from the foe” [Calvin]; or, shalt be neglected and slighted by all [Maurer].

_ _ seek strength because of the enemy — Thou too, like Thebes (Nahum 3:9), shalt have recourse to other nations for help against thy Medo-Babylonian enemy.

Matthew Henry's Commentary

See commentary on Nahum 3:8-19.

John Wesley's Explanatory Notes

Nahum 3:11

Thou also — Thou shalt drink deep of the bitter cup of God's displeasure. Hid — Thou shalt hide thyself. O Nineveh, as well as Alexandria. Shalt seek — Shalt sue for, and intreat assistance.
