Jamieson-Fausset-Brown on Nahum 3:11
COM commentary-section · status:draft · license:PD
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," c., 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 ( Jeremiah 25:15- : ), shalt have recourse to other nations for help against thy Medo-Babylonian enemy. return to ' Top of Page ' <a name="verse-12" class="com-number"
