The Judgment of Nineveh. . 1 He that dasheth in pieces is come up before thy face: keep the munition, watch the way, make thy loins strong, fortify thy power mightily. 2 For the LORD hath turned away the excellency of Jacob, as the excellency of Israel: for the emptiers have emptied them out, and marred their vine branches. 3 The shield of his mighty men is made red, the valiant men are in scarlet: the chariots shall be with flaming torches in the day of his preparation, and the fir trees shall be terribly shaken. 4 The chariots shall rage in the streets, they shall justle one against another in the broad ways: they shall seem like torches, they shall run like the lightnings. 5 He shall recount his worthies: they shall stumble in their walk; they shall make haste to the wall thereof, and the defence shall be prepared. 6 The gates of the rivers shall be opened, and the palace shall be dissolved. 7 And Huzzab shall be led away captive, she shall be brought up, and her maids shall lead her as with the voice of doves, tabering upon their breasts. 8 But Nineveh is of old like a pool of water: yet they shall flee away. Stand, stand, shall they cry; but none shall look back. 9 Take ye the spoil of silver, take the spoil of gold: for there is none end of the store and glory out of all the pleasant furniture. 10 She is empty, and void, and waste: and the heart melteth, and the knees smite together, and much pain is in all loins, and the faces of them all gather blackness. Here is, I. An alarm of war sent to Nineveh, Nahum 2:1 ; Nahum 2:1 . The prophet speaks of it as just at hand, for it is neither doubtful nor far distant: "Look about thee, and see, he that dashes in pieces has come up before thy face. Nebuchadnezzar, who is noted, and will be yet more so, for dashing nations in pieces, begins with thee, and will dissipate and disperse thee;" so some render the word. Babylon is called the hammer of the whole earth, Jeremiah 50:23 . The attempt of Nebuchadnezzar upon Nineveh is public, bold, and daring: "He has come up before thy face, avowing his design to ruin thee; and therefore stand to thy arms, O Nineveh! keep the munition; secure thy towers and magazines: watch the way; set guards upon all the avenues to the city; make thy loins strong; encourage thy soldiers; animate thyself and them; fortify thy power mightily, as cities do when an enemy is advancing against them" (this is spoken ironically); "do the utmost thou canst, yet thou shalt not be able to put by the stroke of this judgment, for there is no counsel or strength against the Lord. " II. A manifesto published, showing the causes of the war ( Nahum 2:2 ; Nahum 2:2 ): The Lord has turned away the excellency of Jacob, as the excellency of Israel, that is, 1. The Assyrians have been abusive to Jacob, the two tribes (have humbled and mortified them), as well as to Israel, the ten tribes, have emptied them, and marred their vine-branches. For this God will reckon with them; though done long since, it shall come into the account now against that kingdom, and Nineveh the head-city of it. God's quarrel with them is for the violence done to Jacob. Or, (2.) God is now by Nebuchadnezzar about to turn away the pride of Jacob by the captivity of the two tribes, as he did the pride of Israel by their captivity; He has determined to do it, to bring emptiers upon them, and the enemy that is to do it must begin with Nineveh, and reduce that first, and humble the pride of that. God is looking upon proud cities, and abasing them, even those that are nearest to him. Samaria is humbled, and Jerusalem is to be humbled, and their pride brought low; and shall not Nineveh, that proud city, be brought down too? Emptiers have emptied the cities, and marred the vine-branches in the country of Jacob and Israel; and must not the excellency of Nineveh, that is so much her pride, be turned away too? III. A particular account given in of the terrors wherein the invading enemy shall appear against Nineveh; every thing shall contribute to make him formidable. 1. The shields of his mighty men are made red, and probably their other arms and array, as if they were already tinctured with the blood they had shed, or intended hereby to signify they would put all to the sword; they hung out a red flag, in token that they would give no quarter. 2. The valiant men are in scarlet; not only red clothes, to intimate what bloody work they designed to make, but rich clothes, to intimate the wealth of the army, and that is the sinews of war. 3. The chariots shall be with flaming torches in the day of his preparation; when they are making their approaches, they shall fly as swiftly as lightning; the wheels shall strike fire upon the stones, and those that drive them shall drive furiously with a flaming indignation, as Jehu drove. Or they carried flaming torches with them in the open chariots, when they made their approach in the night, as Gideon's soldiers carried lamps in their pitchers, to be both a guide to themselves and a terror to their enemies, and with them to set all on fire wherever they went. 4. The fir-trees shall be terribly shaken; the great men of Nineveh, that overtop their neighbours, as the stately firs do the shrubs; or the very standing trees shall be made to shake by the violent concussions of the earth, which that great army shall cause. 5. The chariots of war shall be very terrible ( Nahum 2:4 ; Nahum 2:4 ): They shall rage in the streets, that is, those that drive them shall rage; you would think the chariots themselves raged; they shall be so numerous, and drive with so much fury, that even in the broad ways, where, one would think, there should be room enough, they shall jostle one another; and these iron chariots shall be made so bright that in the beams of the sun they shall seem like torches in the night; they shall run like the lightnings, so swiftly, so furiously. Nebuchadnezzar's commanders are here called his worthies, his gallants (so the margin reads it), his heroes; those he shall recount, and order them immediately and without fail to render themselves at their respective posts, for he is entering upon action, is resolved to take the field immediately, and to open the campaign with the siege of Nineveh. His worthies shall remember (so some read it); they shall be mindful of the duty of their place, and the charge they have received, and shall thereby be made so intent upon their business that they shall stumble in their walks, shall make more haste than good speed; they stumble, but shall not fall; for they shall make haste to the wall thereof, shall open the trenches; and the defence, or the covered way, shall be prepared (something to shelter them from the darts of the besieged), and they shall so closely carry on the siege, and with so much vigour, that at length the gates of the rivers shall be opened ( Nahum 2:6 ; Nahum 2:6 ); those gates of Nineveh which open upon the river Tigris (on which Nineveh was built) shall be first forced by, or betrayed to, the enemy, and by those gates they shall enter. And then the palace shall be dissolved, either the king's house or the house of Nisroch his god; the same word signifies both a palace and a temple. When the God of heaven goes forth to contend with a people, neither the palaces nor their kings, neither the temples nor their gods, can protect and shelter them, but must all inevitably fall with them. IV. A prediction of the consequences of this; and it is easy to guess how dismal those will be. 1. The queen shall fall into the hands of the enemy ( Nahum 2:7 ; Nahum 2:7 ): Huzzab shall be led away captive; she that was established (so some read it), thought herself safe because she was concealed and shut up in secret, shall be discovered (so the margin reads it) and shall be led away captive, in greater disgrace than that of common prisoners; she shall be brought up in a mock state, and her maids of honour shall lead her, because she is weak and faint, not able to bear such frights and hardships, which are doubly hard and frightful to those that have not been used to them; they shall attend her, not to speak cheerfully to her and to encourage her, but murmuring and moaning themselves, as with the voice of doves, the doves of the valleys ( Ezekiel 7:16 ), noted for their mourning, Isaiah 38:14 ; Isaiah 59:11 . They shall be tabering upon their breasts, beating their own breasts in grief and vexation, as if they were drumming upon them, for so the word signifies. 2. The inhabitants, though numerous, shall none of them be able to make head against the invaders, or stand their ground ( Nahum 2:8 ; Nahum 2:8 ): Nineveh is of old like a pool of water, replenished with people as a pool with water (and waters signify multitudes, Revelation 17:15 ), or as those waters with fish; it was long ago a populous city; in Jonah's time there were 120,000 little children in it ( Jonah 4:11 ), and, ordinarily, cities and countries are increasing in their number every year; but, though they have so many hands to be employed in the public service, yet they shall not be able to inspire one another with courage, but they shall flee away like cowards. Their commanders shall do what they can to animate them; they shall cry, " Stand, stand, have a good heart on it, and we shall do well enough;" but none shall so much as look back; they shall not have the least spark of courage remaining, but every one shall think it is his wisest course to make his best of the opportunity to escape; they shall not so much as look back to see who calls for them. Note, God can dispirit the strongest and boldest, in the day of distress, so that they shall not be what one would expect from them, but like a pool of water, the water whereof is dried up and gone. 3. The wealth of the city shall become a prey, and all its rich furniture shall fall into the hands of the victorious enemy ( Nahum 2:9 ; Nahum 2:9 ); they shall thus animate and excite one another to plunder: Take the spoil of silver; take the spoil of gold; thus the officers shall stir up the soldiers to improve their opportunity; here are silver and gold enough for them, for there is no end of the store of money and plate. Nineveh, having been of old like a pool of water, has gathered a vast deal of mud; and abundance of glory it has out of all the pleasant furniture, all the vessels of desire, which they have gloried in and which shall now be a prey and a pride to the conquerors. Note, Those who prepare raiment as the clay, and heap up silver as the dust, know not who may put on the raiment and divide the silver, Job 27:16 ; Job 27:17 . Thus this rich city is empty, and void, and waste, Nahum 2:10 ; Nahum 2:10 . See the vanity of worldly wealth; instead of defending its owners, it does but expose them, and enable their enemies to do them so much the more mischief. 4. The soldiers and people shall have no heart to appear for the defence of the city. Their spirits shall melt away like wax before the fire; their knees shall smite together (as Belshazzar's did, in his agony, Daniel 5:6 ), so that they shall not be able to stand their ground, no, nor to make their escape; much pain shall be in all loins, as is the case in extreme frights, so that they shall not be able to hold up their backs. And the faces of them all shall gather blackness, like that of a pot that is every day over the fire; so the word signifies. Note, Guilt in the conscience will fill men with terror in an evil day, and those who place their happiness in the wealth of this world and set their hearts upon it think themselves undone when their silver, and their gold, and their pleasant furniture are taken from them. return to ' Top of Page ' <a name="verses-11-13" class="com-number"

> 산산이 부수는 자가 너를 치러 올라왔다. 요새를 지켜라! 길을 살펴라! 허리를 동여매라! 네 힘을 굳세게 다잡아라! 여호와께서 야곱의 영광을 이스라엘의 영광처럼 회복시키실 것이기 때문이다. 파괴자들이 그들을 황폐하게 만들고 그들의 포도나무 가지를 망쳐 놓았다. 그의 용사들의 방패는 붉게 물들었고, 그 용감한 자들은 진홍색 옷을 입었다. 그가 출전을 준비하는 날에 병거들은 강철로 번쩍이고, 잣나무 창들이 휘둘러진다. 병거들이 거리를 휩쓸며 광장을 이리저리 내달린다. 그 모습은 횃불 같고, 번개처럼 달려간다. 그가 정예 부대를 불러 모은다. 그들은 진군하다가 비틀거린다. 그들은 성벽을 향해 돌진하고, 방어용 엄폐물이 세워진다. 강들의 문이 열리고, 궁전이 무너져 내린다. 이렇게 선포되었다. 그 여인은 벗겨져 끌려가고, 그 여종들은 비둘기 같은 소리로 가슴을 치며 슬피 운다. 니느웨는 예로부터 물웅덩이 같았으나, 이제 그들은 달아난다. "멈추어라! 멈추어라!" 외쳐도 아무도 돌아보지 않는다. 은을 노략하라! 금을 노략하라! 쌓인 보화가 끝이 없고, 온갖 값진 기물의 영화가 가득하다. 그 성은 텅 비고 황폐하여 폐허가 되었다. 마음은 녹아내리고, 무릎은 서로 부딪치며, 온몸과 얼굴이 새파랗게 질렸다. (나 2:1-10)

### I. 니느웨에게 보내는 전쟁 경보 (나 2:1)

선지자는 이 일이 곧 눈앞에 닥쳐 있음을 말하고 있다. "보라, 산산이 부수는 자가 너를 향해 올라왔다. 나라들을 산산조각 내는 것으로 이름나고 앞으로 더욱 유명해질 느부갓네살이 바로 너 니느웨부터 시작할 것이니, 너를 흩어 버릴 것이다." 바벨론은 온 땅을 치는 망치로 불렸다(렘 50:23). 느부갓네살이 니느웨를 향해 공격하는 것은 공개적이고도 대담한 행동이다. "그가 네 면전에서 올라왔으니, 너를 멸하겠다는 의도를 공공연히 드러내고 있다. 그러므로 무기를 들어라, 니느웨여! 요새를 지켜라! 성루와 무기고를 확보하라. 길을 살펴라! 성으로 들어오는 모든 통로에 파수꾼을 세워라. 허리를 동여매라! 병사들을 독려하고, 너 자신과 그들의 사기를 북돋아라. 네 힘을 굳세게 다잡아라! 도시들이 적이 쳐들어올 때 하듯이 최대한 준비를 갖추어라." 그러나 이것은 반어법으로 하는 말이다. "네가 할 수 있는 최대한을 다해도, 이 심판의 타격을 막아낼 수 없을 것이니, 여호와를 대항하는 어떤 계략도 능력도 통하지 않는다."

### II. 이 전쟁의 원인을 밝히는 선포 (나 2:2)

여호와께서 야곱의 영광을 회복시키실 것이라고 선언한다. 이 선포에는 두 가지 의미가 있다.

첫째, 앗시리아 사람들이 야곱 곧 두 지파에게 이스라엘 곧 열 지파에게 했듯이 가혹하게 대했다는 것이다. 그들은 두 지파의 포도나무 가지를 망쳐 놓고 그들을 텅 비게 만들었다. 이 때문에 하나님께서 그들에게 책임을 물으실 것이다. 오래전 일일지라도, 이제 그 나라와 수도 니느웨를 향한 심판의 근거가 된다. 하나님의 야곱에 대한 의분이 그들을 향해 있다.

둘째, 하나님께서 이제 느부갓네살을 통해 두 지파를 포로로 잡혀가게 하심으로써, 마치 열 지파의 포로 됨과 같이 야곱의 교만을 꺾으려 하신다는 것이다. 하나님은 교만한 성들을 굽어살피며 낮추신다. 사마리아는 이미 낮아졌고, 예루살렘도 낮아질 것이다. 그렇다면 그토록 교만한 도성 니느웨도 무너져야 하지 않겠는가?

### III. 침략해 오는 적군의 모습 (나 2:3-9)

적군이 얼마나 두렵게 나타나는지를 세세하게 묘사한다.

**첫째, 용사들의 방패가 붉게 물들었다(나 2:3).** 다른 무기와 갑옷도 마찬가지이다. 이미 흘린 피로 물든 것 같기도 하고, 모든 것을 칼로 베어 버리겠다는 뜻으로 붉은 깃발을 내세운 것이기도 하다. 이는 포로를 받아들이지 않겠다는 표시이다.

**둘째, 용감한 자들이 진홍색 옷을 입었다.** 피바람을 예고하는 붉은 옷뿐 아니라 화려한 복장까지 갖추었으니, 이는 그 군대의 풍요로움을 드러낸다. 풍요는 전쟁의 원동력이다.

**셋째, 병거들은 강철로 번쩍인다(나 2:3).** 그들이 접근할 때 번개처럼 빠르게 달린다. 수레바퀴가 돌에 불꽃을 일으키고, 병거를 모는 자들은 타오르는 분노로 예후처럼 맹렬하게 몰아댄다. 또는 야간 공격 시 활짝 열린 병거에 불타는 횃불을 들고 나타나 기드온 군사들이 항아리 속 등불을 들었듯이, 스스로는 길을 밝히고 적에게는 공포를 주었을 것이다.

**넷째, 잣나무 창들이 두렵게 흔들린다(나 2:3).** 이웃들을 압도하는 니느웨의 지도자들이 우뚝 솟은 잣나무처럼 뒤흔들린다는 뜻이다. 혹은 그 대군(大軍)이 일으키는 격렬한 진동으로 땅이 흔들려 우람한 나무들까지 흔들린다는 뜻이기도 하다.

**다섯째, 전차들이 매우 무섭다(나 2:4).** 병거들이 거리를 휩쓸고, 병거를 모는 자들이 날뛰는 것처럼 보인다. 거리에서도 워낙 많고 맹렬히 달리다 보니, 사람들이 여유롭게 다닐 것 같은 너른 광장에서도 서로 부딪친다. 이 강철 병거들이 햇빛 아래 번쩍이며 낮의 횃불처럼 보이고, 번개처럼 달린다. 이처럼 빠르고 사납다.

느부갓네살의 지휘관들은 '용감한 자들'이라 불린다. 그들이 정예 부대를 소집받는다. 그러나 그들은 다가가면서도 비틀거리니, 이는 기진맥진해서가 아니라 무기와 갑옷의 무게 때문이요, 눈앞에 벌어지는 무서운 광경 때문이기도 하다. 그들은 잽싸게 성벽으로 나아가고, 방어용 엄폐물이 세워진다.

강들의 문이 열린다(나 2:6). 니느웨는 강들에 둘러싸인 도성이었다. 보통은 이 강물들이 도성을 지켜 주었다. 그러나 이제 전쟁이 일어나자 강들은 도리어 성 안으로 쏟아지는 통로가 되고, 강물이 성문을 열어젖힌다. 이로써 궁전이 무너져 내린다. 침략군이 들이닥치자 왕궁은 흔들리거나, 왕이 백성과 함께 달아난다.

어떤 이들은 나 2:7에 나오는 인물이 여왕이나 왕비, 혹은 이 땅의 여신이라고 해석한다. 그 여인은 벗겨져 끌려가고, 그 여종들은 비둘기 같은 소리로 가슴을 치며 슬피 운다. 나라의 영광을 상징하던 존재가 이토록 비참하게 끌려간다.

니느웨는 예로부터 물웅덩이 같았다(나 2:8). 강들에 둘러싸인 거대한 도성이다. 그러나 이제 그 주민들은 달아나고, "멈추어라! 멈추어라!" 외쳐도 아무도 돌아보지 않는다. 패주(敗走)하는 군대는 어떤 명령에도 멈추지 않는다. 두려움이 한번 사람들을 사로잡으면, 막을 방법이 없다.

전리품이 넘쳐 난다(나 2:9). 은을 노략하라! 금을 노략하라! 쌓인 보화가 끝이 없다. 니느웨는 오랜 세월 주변 민족들에게서 빼앗아 쌓은 것들이 가득했다. 이제 그 모든 것이 승전한 적들의 손에 들어간다.

### IV. 니느웨의 완전한 황폐 (나 2:10)

> 그 성은 텅 비고 황폐하여 폐허가 되었다. 마음은 녹아내리고, 무릎은 서로 부딪치며, 온몸과 얼굴이 새파랗게 질렸다. (나 2:10)

이 한 절은 완전한 황폐를 세 번 겹쳐 강조한다. "텅 비고, 황폐하고, 폐허가 되었다." 뿐만 아니라 남은 자들의 몸과 마음도 완전히 무너진다. 마음이 녹아내리고, 무릎이 서로 부딪치고, 온몸에 극심한 고통이 오고, 얼굴이 새파랗게 질린다. 주목하라. 하나님의 심판이 내리면, 아무리 강한 자도 그 앞에서 녹아내린다. 능력과 부(富)도 그날에는 아무런 피난처가 되지 못한다.

N A H U M. CHAP. II. We now come closer to Nineveh, that great city; she took, not warning by the destruction of her armies and the fall of her king, and therefore may expect, since she persists in her enmity to God, that he will proceed in his controversy with her. Here is foretold, I. The approach of the enemy that should destroy Nineveh, and the terror of his military preparations, Nahum 2:1-5 . II. The taking of the city, Nahum 2:6 . III. The captivity of the queen, the flight of the inhabitants, the seizing of all its wealth, and the great consternation it should be in, Nahum 2:7-10 . IV. All this is traced up to its true causes--their sinning against God and God's appearing against them, Nahum 2:11-13 . All this was fulfilled when Nebuchadnezzar, in the first year of his reign, in conjunction with Cyaxares, or Ahasuerus, king of the Medes, conquered Nineveh, and made himself master of the Assyrian monarchy. return to ' Top of Page ' <a name="verses-1-10" class="com-number"

The Judgment of Nineveh. . 11 Where is the dwelling of the lions, and the feeding-place of the young lions, where the lion, even the old lion, walked, and the lion's whelp, and none made them afraid? 12 The lion did tear in pieces enough for his whelps, and strangled for his lionesses, and filled his holes with prey, and his dens with ravin. 13 Behold, I am against thee, saith the LORD of hosts, and I will burn her chariots in the smoke, and the sword shall devour thy young lions: and I will cut off thy prey from the earth, and the voice of thy messengers shall no more be heard. Here we have Nineveh's ruin, 1. Triumphed in by its neighbours, who now remember against it all the oppressions and abuse of power it had been guilty of in its pomp and prosperity ( Nahum 2:11 ; Nahum 2:12 ): Where is the dwelling of the lions? It is gone; there appear no remnants, no footsteps, of it. Where is the feeding place of the young lions, where they glutted themselves with prey? The princes of Nineveh had been as lions, as beasts of prey; cruel tyrants are no better, nay, in this respect much worse--that, being men, humanity is expected from them; nay, if they were indeed lions, they would not prey upon those of their own kind. Savis inter se convenit ursæ--Fierce bears agree together. But in the shape of men they had the cruelty of lions: they walked in Nineveh as a lion in the woods, and none made them afraid; every one stood in awe of them, and they were under no apprehensions of danger from any; though nobody loved them, every body feared them, and that was all they desired. Oderint, dum metuant--Let them hate, so that they do but fear. The king himself, as well as every prince, made it his business, by all the arts of violence and extortion, to enrich himself and raise his family; he did tear in pieces enough for his whelps (and no little would be enough for them) and he strangled for his lioness, killed all that came near him, and seized what they had for his children, for his wives and concubines, and filled his holes with prey and his dens with ravin, as lions are wont to do. Note, Many make it an excuse for their rapine and injustice that they have wives and children to provide for, whereas what is so got will never do them any good; those that fear the Lord, and get what they have honestly, shall not want a competency for themselves and theirs; verily they shall be fed, when the young lions, though dens and holes were filled with prey and ravin for them, shall lack, and suffer hunger, Psalms 34:10 . 2. It is avowed by the righteous Judge of heaven and earth; it is his doing, and let all the world take notice that it is so ( Nahum 2:13 ; Nahum 2:13 ): Behold, I am against thee, saith the Lord of hosts. And what good can hosts do for her in her defence, when the Lord of hosts is against her for her destruction? The oppressors in Nineveh thought they only set their neighbours against them, who were not a match for them, and whom they could easily overpower; but it proved they set God against them, who is, and will be, the asserter of right and the avenger of wrong. God is against the princes of Nineveh, and then, (1.) These military preparations will stand them in no stead: I will burn their chariots in the smoke; he does not say in the fire, but, in contempt of them, the very smoke of God's indignation shall serve to burn their chariots; they shall be consumed as soon as the fire of his indignation is kindled, while as yet it does but smoke, and not flame out. Or, The drivers of the chariots shall be smothered and stifled with the smoke; then the chariots of their glory shall be the shame of their families, Isaiah 22:18 . (2.) Their children, the hopes of their families, shall be cut off: The sword shall devour the young lions, whom they were so solicitous to provide for by oppression and extortion. Note, It is just with God to deprive those of their children, or (which is all one) of comfort in them, that take sinful courses to enrich them, and (as has been said of some) damn their souls to make their sons gentlemen. (3.) The wealth they have heaped up by fraud and violence shall neither be enjoyed by them nor employed for them: I will cut off thy prey from the earth; not only thou shalt not be the better for it, but no one else shall. Some understand it of the disabling of them for the future to prey upon their neighbours. (4.) Their agents abroad shall not have that respect from their neighbours and that influence upon them which sometimes they had had: The voice of thy messengers shall no more be heard, no more be heeded, which some think refers to Rabshakeh, one of Nineveh's messengers, that had blasphemed the living God, an iniquity which was remembered against Nineveh long after.

> 사자의 굴이 어디 있느냐? 젊은 사자들이 먹이를 먹던 곳, 사자와 암사자가 거닐고 사자 새끼들이 다니던 곳, 아무도 그들을 두렵게 하지 못하던 그곳이 어디 있느냐? 사자는 새끼들을 위해 먹이를 찢고, 암사자들을 위해 먹이를 움켜 죽여, 잡은 것으로 굴을 채우고 노략한 것으로 소굴을 가득 채웠다. 만군의 여호와께서 말씀하신다. "보라, 내가 너를 대적한다. 내가 그 병거들을 불살라 연기 속에 사라지게 하고, 칼이 네 젊은 사자들을 삼킬 것이다. 내가 네 노략물을 땅에서 끊어 버리리니, 네 사신들의 목소리가 다시는 들리지 않을 것이다." (나 2:11-13)

### I. 이웃들이 니느웨의 멸망을 조롱하다 (나 2:11-12)

"사자의 굴이 어디 있느냐?" 이 물음은 사라져 버린 것을 탄식하는 물음이다. 그 굴은 이제 없다. 흔적도 발자국도 남지 않았다. 젊은 사자들이 먹이를 실컷 먹던 그 먹이터는 어디 갔는가?

니느웨의 왕들과 지도자들은 사자 같았다. 잔인한 폭군들이 그러하듯이. 아니, 진짜 사자보다 더 나쁘다. 사자들은 자기 동족을 잡아먹지 않는다. 사나운 곰들도 서로 사이좋게 지낸다. 그런데 사람의 형상을 한 자들이 사자의 잔인함을 가지고 동족을 해쳤다. 그들은 니느웨 안에서 마치 숲 속의 사자처럼 활보하였고, 아무도 그들을 두려워하게 만들지 못했다. 모든 사람이 그들 앞에서 두려워 떨었다. 아무도 그들을 사랑하지 않았지만, 모든 사람이 두려워했고, 그것이 그들이 원하는 전부였다. "미워해도 좋다, 다만 두려워하기만 하면 된다."

왕 자신도, 지도자도 하나같이 폭력과 착취로 자신을 살찌우고 가문을 높이는 데 혈안이 되어 있었다. 새끼들을 위해 충분한 먹이를 찢어 왔으니, 아무리 많아도 새끼들에게는 충분하지 않았다. 암사자들을 위해 먹이를 움켜 죽였다. 자녀와 아내와 첩들을 위해 닥치는 대로 죽이고 빼앗았다. 잡은 것으로 굴을 채우고 노략한 것으로 소굴을 가득 채웠다. 사자들이 늘 하는 짓처럼. 주목하라. 아내와 자녀를 위한다는 핑계로 수탈과 불의를 저지르는 자가 많다. 그러나 그렇게 얻은 것은 결코 그들에게 유익이 되지 않는다. 여호와를 경외하며 정직하게 얻은 것을 가진 자는 자신과 자기 가족을 위한 충분함을 누리지만, 젊은 사자들은 굴과 소굴을 노략물로 가득 채웠어도 부족하여 굶주리게 될 것이다(시 34:10).

### II. 의로우신 하늘과 땅의 재판장이 심판을 선고하다 (나 2:13)

> 만군의 여호와께서 말씀하신다. "보라, 내가 너를 대적한다." (나 2:13)

이 일은 하나님의 행하심이다. 온 세상은 이것이 그분의 뜻임을 알아야 한다. 만군의 여호와가 그녀를 대적하시는데, 그녀를 지키는 군대가 무슨 소용이 있겠는가? 니느웨의 폭군들은 자신들이 이웃들과만 맞선다고 생각했다. 이웃들은 자신들의 적수가 되지 못하고 쉽게 제압할 수 있었다. 그런데 실은 그들이 하나님과 맞섰던 것이니, 하나님은 옳음을 세우시고 불의를 갚으시는 분이다. 하나님이 니느웨의 지도자들을 대적하시니,

**첫째, 군사력이 아무 소용이 없다.** "내가 그 병거들을 불살라 연기 속에 사라지게 하겠다." 불 속에서가 아니라 연기 속에서 태워 버리겠다고 하신다. 이는 그들을 얼마나 하찮게 여기시는지를 보여 준다. 하나님의 진노의 불이 아직 연기로만 나타나도, 그들의 병거는 사라지고 만다. 그들의 영광스러운 병거는 가문의 수치가 될 것이다(사 22:18).

**둘째, 자녀들이 끊어진다.** 칼이 젊은 사자들을 삼킬 것이다. 착취와 폭력으로 그토록 공들여 제공하려 했던 그 자녀들이 칼에 쓰러진다. 주목하라. 자녀를 위해 죄악스러운 방법으로 재물을 쌓고 그들의 앞길을 닦아 주려는 자들에게, 하나님께서 그 자녀를 빼앗아 가시거나 자녀로부터 아무 기쁨도 누리지 못하게 하시는 것은 마땅한 심판이다.

**셋째, 쌓아 온 부(富)가 사라진다.** "내가 네 노략물을 땅에서 끊어 버리겠다." 그것이 그들에게 아무런 유익이 되지 못할 뿐 아니라 다른 누구에게도 쓰이지 못하게 된다. 혹자는 이를 앞으로 이웃 나라들을 침략하지 못하도록 막는 것으로 이해하기도 한다.

**넷째, 다른 나라들에 대한 영향력을 잃는다.** "네 사신들의 목소리가 다시는 들리지 않을 것이다." 예전에 그 나라의 사신들이 갖던 위세와 영향력이 사라진다. 어떤 이들은 이것이 랍사게를 가리킨다고 본다. 그는 니느웨가 보낸 사신으로 살아 계신 하나님을 모독했다(왕하 18장). 한번 하나님을 모독하여 말한 자는 다시 들어줄 자격을 잃는다.
