A Paraphrastical EXPLICATION Of the PROPHESIE OF NAHUM.

CHAP. I.

1 THe burden of Nineveh. The book of the visi∣on of Nahum the Elko∣shite.

2 God is jealous, and the Lord revengeth, the Lord revengeth and is fu∣rious, the Lord will take vengeance on his adversa∣ries, and he reserveth wrath for his enemies.

3 The Lord is slow to anger, and great in power, and will not at all acquit the wicked: the Lord hath his way in the whirl-wind, and in the storm, and the clouds are the dust of his feet.

4 He rebuketh the sea, and maketh it drie, and drieth up all the rivers: Bashan languisheth, and Carmel, and the flower of Lebanon languisheth.

5 The mountains quake at him, and the hills melt, and the earth is burnt at his presence, yea, the world,

and all that dwell there∣in.

6 Who can stand before his indignation? and who can abide in the fiercenesse of his anger? his furie is poured out like fire, and the rocks are thrown down by him.

7 The Lord is good, a strong bold in the day of trouble, and he knoweth them that trust in him.

8 But with an over∣running floud he will make an utter end of the place thereof, and darknesse shall pursue his enemies.

9 What do ye imagine against the Lord? he will make an utter end: affli∣ction shall not rise up the se∣cond time.

10 For while they be fol∣den together as thorns, and while they are drunken as drunkards, they shall be de∣voured as stubble fully dry.

11 There is one come out of thee, that imagineth evil against the Lord a wic∣ked counsellour.

12 Thus saith the Lord, Though they be quiet, and likewise many, yet thus shall they be cut down, when he shall passe through: though I have afflicted thee: I will afflict thee no more.

13 For now will I break his yoke from off thee, and will burst thy bonds in sun∣der.

14 And the Lord hath given a commandment con∣cerning thee, that no more of thy name be sown: out of the house of thy gods will I cut off the graven image, & the molten image, I wil make thy grave for thou art vile.

15 Behold upon the mountains the feet of him that bringeth good things, that publisheth peace: O Iudah, keep thy solemn feasts, perform thy vows: for the wicked shall no more passe through thee, he is ut∣terly cut off.

CHAP. I.

1. THe heavy doom against Nivive (and with her, against the whole Assyrian Empire) foretold in this book of the Prophesie of Nahum, who was of* 1.1 Kessi, or Elkesai, (a little village in Galilie.)

2. God is a jealous God (and so cannot suffer his Servants to be too long and too much op∣pressed) and he is the God to whom vengeance belongeth (and so cannot suffer his enemies too long to prosper, and triumph in their wicked waies) When he comes to take vengeance, his heavy anger against sin goes along with it, as the executioner of his Justice. And, when that comes, he will not fail to be revenged of his ad∣versaries, against whom, (a) 1.2 he laid up his wrath as in a treasure, to be drawn out, and spent upon them in due time.

3. Indeed he comes slowly to those times of the ‖ 1.3 execution of his wrath, in great patience, and long-suffering, expecting their repentance: but, when he comes, he shows himself to be great in power, and one that will not acquit

the impenitent, and suffer them to passe unpu∣nished for what they have done, but rather, by heavinesse of the punishment, make a recom∣pense for the slowness of his anger. Which he shows all the way he comes to it, making it like a way in a whirlwind and mighty storm, and walking upon the clouds, as we do upon the dust of the earth, (which he commands, as he doth the boisterous winds, and all other crea∣tures, to be mustered up against us, at his pleasure)

4. In these times, if he check and rebuke the great Sea, that cheek of his dries it up, and makes it instantly vanish and fly away for fear (as the children of Israel found it in the red sea) needs must all the lesser rivers then be dried up with the least angry breath of his (as they found it also in the river Iordan.) And, when his just anger will show it self by land, as well as by water, a little passe granted by that authority will make the rich corn fields of Carmel, and the fat meadows of Basan, and all the green flaurishing woods in Lebanon sodainly to fade, and wither away (as once a word of his did it, from the mouth of Elijah.

5. And (to show himself the God of the hills as well as of the valleys) he can make the strongest mountains to quake (b) 1.4 for fear of him,

and the highest hills to stoop and melt away, (like the rock, * 1.5 that, at his striking hand wept it self into rivers) And what should I speak of Hills, or Vales, that yeeld to his anger? Any part of the earth, (c) 1.6 for fear of him, and at the breath of his nostrils would be soon put into as great a heat, and flame as that of Sodom and Gomorrha: and the whole world with all that dwel therein may easily be consu∣med in the fire of his wrath (as the greatest part will in the last conflagration, before the day of doom.)

6. For who can stand firm, that is shaked by his indignation, or (if he be once cast down) (d) 1.7 who can raise himself again to oppose the fiercenesse of his anger: which, when it breaks out like fire, is able to rend and cast down the hardest rocks, e 1.8 at the fear of him.

7. (This infinite power may be a terrour to his enemies, but as great a comfort and support it is to his servants: for) the gratious Lord is a sure refuge and fortresse unto all his, in the time of trouble, and will ever (f) acknow∣ledge and take notice of those, * 1.9 that put their trust in him.

8. But like an universal deluge, he will so∣dainly

overtake, and utterly overwhelm him (whosoever he is) (g) 1.10 that rises up against him: and all his enemies shall be pur∣sued with the horror, and darknesse of af∣fliction.

9. Wherwith can you devise to stay this effect of the anger of the Lord, while he is working of that, which will prove no lesse then an utter destruction, to be given at one blow, one heavy afflicting blow, that shall never need to be repeat∣ed * 1.11 in a second affliction, to make all sure for a final ruine.

10. Which may well be compared to the so∣dain consuming of thorns, that are tied up to∣gether before they are cast into the fire: or the sodain conquest that drunkards make over their own understanding, when they sit tipling over the sweet liquor: For, so sodainly shall they perish, as stubble doth in the flame, when it is fully drie, before it be cast into it.

11. (And the lesse should be the wonder at the severity of these judgements: because) out of thee (O Assyria) there hath ever come some back-friend, or other: some (l) 1.12 most wick∣ed counsellor and plotter against the people of God (some Phul, or Tiglath-pelezer, or Senna∣cherib,

or Rabsace) that studying to oppose the peculiar people of God, proved himself therein no better, then a (k) 1.13 〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉, an opposer, and contriver of mischief against God himself.

12. But, thus saith the Lord (against those insulting enemies) though they had (l) 1.14 attain∣ed to the perfection, (of power, and policy) and so to be (m) 1.15 a numerous and great people (likely enough to execute their malitious designes) yet would it be like easie for me ((n) 1.16 when they are ripe for justice) (n) 1.17 to cut them down. And this will prove true by the event, when one (that I shall chuse out, i. the Chaldaean, as wise and populous a nation as they) shall begin to make his way thorough them, without any resistance. When that day comes, it will not be long ere I smite thee, O Ninive, with a blow, that shall come so close and home, (o) 1.18 that it shall not need to be reiterated by any second at∣tempt.

13. With that blow shall I break his yoke (the troublesom and insolent oppression of that King of Ninive, whosoever he be, that

shall yet dare to rise up against me and my people.) That yoke shall be no longer put upon thee (O Israel.) And, with that, all the cords by which those Assyrian Tyrants held thee in subjection, will I break in pieces. That shall be thy day of ransome, and li∣berty.

14. And this shall be thy doom, O Tyrant of Ninive, which shall come out, as an un∣alterable edict from me. None of thy seed, or of thy name shall be any longer continu∣ance. (The world shall hear no more of such a thing, as a King of thy family, or a King of Nineve.) And, (as I will thus cut off thee, and thine, and remove thy throne.) So will I also down with thy idol-deities. Thy Temple shall be no longer a place for them. Thy carved and thy mol∣ten images shall be (p) 1.19 of as little esteem, as thy own stinking sepulchre. For (what∣soever thy proud heart imagines) all (q) 1.20 these things will be most facile and easie for me to do (with whom nothing is im∣possible.)

15. (When thy head shall be laid thus low, and thy glorie buried in the dust)

methinks I that prophesie of thy ruine, see the nimble feet of the joyful messengers, that shall trip it upon the mountains (of Judaea) and deliver the good tidings of (r) 1.21 peace and prosperity unto them. Me∣thinks, I hear them call to us in a well∣come voice, Now, Iudaea, feast it with mirth, and security: and forget not to pay thy vows as readily. For that wicked, and malitious enemie shall come no more to vaunt it against thee and thy God (as he did in the daies of King Hezekiah.) He is now utterly cut off (we shall hear no more of his vain pomp, and insulting tyrannical behaviour.)

CHAP. II.

1. HE that dasheth in pieces is come up be∣fore thy face: keep the mu∣nition, watch the way, make thy loins strong, fortifie thy power mightily.

2 For the Lord hath turned away the excellency of Iacob, as the excellency of Israel: for the emptiers have emptied them out, and marred their vine branches.

3 The shield of his migh∣ty 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 waies: they shall seem like torches, they shall run like the lightenings.

5 He shall recount his worthies: they shall stum∣ble in their walk: they shall make bast to the wall there∣of, and the defence shall be prepared.

6 The gates of the rivers shall be opened, and the pa∣••••ice 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 sil∣ver, take ye 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 blacknesse.

11 Where is the dwelling of the lion, and the feeding place of the young lions? where the lion, even the old lion walked, and the lions whelp, and none made them afraid.

12 The lion did tear in pieces enough for his whelps, and strangled for his lion∣esses, and filled his holes with prey, and his dens with ravine.

13 Behold, I am against thee, saith the Lord of hosts, and I will burn her chariots in the smoak, and the sword shall devour the young lions, and I will cut off thy prey from the earth, and the voice of thy messen∣gers shall no more be heard.

CHAP. II.

1. HE is now vanished away, in thy sight, that was wont to be ever backing, and (a) 1.22 hewing at thee: and ever ready to (b) 1.23 be∣siege thy strong forts, and place his scouts in thy way (that should say to thee,) Gird up thy loines, (muster up all the strength thou hast, for thy own defense) Do thy best and thy worst: (and all that care will prove but to little purpose.)

2. But (this insolence is now at an end) God hath now returned and requited upon this cruell enemy his (c) 1.24 proud expressions of him∣self against Iacob (at the siege of Jerusalem) not much unlike to what he showed elsewhere against Israel, (the ten tribes, that were car∣ried by the Assyrian out of their own coun∣trey.) And the rather did this vengeance fall upon the Assyrians, because their oppression was equall to their pride; * 1.25 as it appeared, when (d) 1.26 they emptied and ransacked those of

Judah and Israel of all they had: exercising this waste and pillage upon (e) 1.27 the poorest towns as well as the mother-cities: upon the children as well as the Parents: upon the meanest sub∣jects as well as the Princes: and so every way showing themselves to be for root, and branch, for a finall desolation, as far as they could set it forward.

3. (But I have a fierce nation in my eye, the haughty Chaldaean, that shall do as much for them of Assyria.) The bucklers of those my valiant champions shall be dyed in blood; which is the colour of most of their men of war, that are usually clad in scarlet: and the colour that their very chariot-wheeles shall sparkle out in fire, at the time of their expedi∣tions, And their very (f) 1.28 arrowes of firre shall be able to show part of the same livery, being purposely (g) 1.29 venomed, to suck the deeper of the blood of their enemies.

4. (In this time of execution) their cha∣riots of war shall rattle about, and make a clattering and fearfull noise, (h) 1.30 in their open fields: and (i) 1.31 the common Souldiers shall fly

about (k) 1.32 as much in the streets of their Ci∣ties. Their visage shall be made terrible with their sparkling eyes, that shall be like funerall lamps, to show the Assyrians the way to their graves; or rather like thunder and lightning, that shall either (l) 1.33 break, or bear down all afore them.

5. (m) 1.34 He that shall have the command of this army shall bethink himself of his choicest warriours for this employment: who shall make their onsets with that fury, that they shall croud and trample upon one another for eagernesse, and haste. In that speed shall they scale their walls, and be as ready to sheild, and defend themselves against all opposition.

6. In this hurrie, their flood-gates, and o∣ther passages, and forts about the rivers shall be laid open, and uselesse. And, among them, the (n) 1.35 Temple (of their Bel or Jupiter Belus, that was not placed far from the river Tigris) shall be ruined and (o) 1.36 dissolved with those wa∣ter-workes about the river.

7. And the City of Niniveh, (p) 1.37 that was appointed as the cheif, and mother-City shall be led away captive: and in that capacity,

shall the inferiour townes, like so many of her handmaids, attend upon her(q) 1.38 driven along, like so many herds of cattle, lowing as they go: or like so many mournfull doves, all the way lamenting, and (r) 1.39 striking upon their hearts, and breasts, to a heavier sound with∣in, than their enemies could beat upon their drums.

8. Thus do they lament the emptying of Nineveh, which anciently indeed was very po∣pulous, and, in that, like a Fish-pond, richly stored with water, (if that Citie may be com∣pared to a pool so inclosed, as the people are often compared to water.) And (to follow the metaphore) when it is let open, this people will be as mute as fishes. They will run all out of their Citie as fast as water out of a pond. A man may cry to them, stay, stay, (run not so fast from your richest Citie) but not a man will look back to give a word of re∣treat.

9. (Will you now hear the commission and power that God himself will give to the Babylonians, for the compleating of this work upon the Ninevites. It is as much as if he should say to them.) Take all their silver

and gold as a spoil, (that I allot to you for this service) with all the (s) 1.40 infinite store, which the Ninivites have hoorded up: and the (t) 1.41 pompous and stately furniture, which they abounded withall, above all that a man might desire.

10. With no other commission is Niniveh so emptied, and (u) 1.42 laid open, and exposed to all injury, and miserie. In the sense of it, their hearts shall melt within them, and their knees smite together, and extream pain seize upon their loines, (as upon a woman in tra∣vaile) which shall turn their very faces into a black, and mournfull hew.

11. (When this Prophesie comes to be ful∣filled, you may well ask the question.) What is now become of the high, and mighty Assy∣rians, that domineered over other nations, as the Lion doth over other creatures and made their Court like the Lions den, where their young ones were crammed, and enriched, with all variety of spoiles. There the Lion was wont to strut himself, the old crafty Lion: and the youngsters, the Lions whelps, (x) 1.43 which none could make afraid.

12. This Lion hunted, and preyed suffici∣ently, where he list, for his young ones. He strangled other creatures, at his pleasure, to be made food for his Lionesses, and so filled his dens, and every corner in them with ra∣pine.

13. This I winked at for a while, saith the Lord of hostes, but now (y) 1.44 have at thee. For, Nineve's chariots (that were wont to fetch home her prey) shall now, at my com∣mand, be consumed, and vanish in their smoak: and her young gallants, which were as her fierce young Lions shall perish by the sword, (in which weapon they gloried, and presumed so much, and by which I will cut off all her ability of ranging about the earth, to prey upon whom she list:) so that Nineveh's proud messages, and commands, hereafter, (z) 1.45shall find none that will give them the hearing.

CHAP. III.

1 WO to the bloody city, it is all full of lies and robberies, the prey departeth not,

2 The noise of a whip, and the noise of the ratling of the wheels; and of the praunsing horses, and of the jumping chariots.

3 The horseman lifteth up both the bright sword, and the glittering spear, and there is a multitude of slain, and a great number of carcas's; and there is none end of their corpses: they stumble upon their corp∣ses.

4 Because of the multi∣tude of the whoredoms of the wel-favoured harlot, the mistress of witch-crafts, that selleth nations through her whoredomes, and fami∣lies through her witch∣crafts.

5 Behold, I am against thee, saith the Lord of hosts, and I will discover thy skirts upon thy face, and I will shew the nations thy na∣kednesse, and the kingdoms thy shame.

6 And I will east abomi∣nable filth upon thee, and make thee vile, and will set thee as a gazing-stock.

7 And it shall come to passe, that all they that look upon thee, shall flee from thee, and say, Nineveh is laid waste, who will bemoan her? whence shall I seek comforters for thee?

8 Art thou better than populous No, that was situ∣ate among the•• rivers; that had the waters round about it, whose rampart was the sea, and her wall was from the sea?

9 Ethiopia and Egypt were her strength; and it was infinite, Put and

Lubim were thy helpers.

10 Yet was she carried away, she went into capti∣vity: her young children also were dashed in pieces at the top of all the streets: and they cast lots for her honourable men, and all her great men were bound in chains.

11 Thou also shalt be drunken: thou also shalt be hid, thou also shalt seek strength because of the ene∣my.

12 All thy strong holds shall be like fig-trees with the first ripe figs: if they be shaken they shall even fall into the mouth of the eater.

13 Behold, thy people in the midst of thee are wo∣men: the gates of thy land shall be set wide open unto thine enemies, the fire shall devour thy bars.

14 Draw thee waters for the siege, fortifie thy strong holds: go into clay, and tread the morter, make strong the brickkil.

15 There shall the fire devour thee: the sword shall cut thee off: it shall eat thee up like the canker-worm: make thy self many as the canker-worm, make thy self many as the locusts.

16 Thou hast multiplied thy merchants above the stars of heaven: the canker-worm spoileth and fleeth away.

17 Thy crowned are as the locusts, and thy captains as the great grashoppers, which camp in the hedges in the cold day: but when the sun ariseth they flee away, and their place is not known where they are.

18 Thy shepherds slum∣ber, O king of Assyria: thy nobles shall dwel in the dust, thy people is scattered upon the mountains, and no man gathereth them.

19 There is no healing of thy bruise: thy wound is grievous: all that hear the bruit of thee shall clap the hands over thee; for upon whom hath not thy wicked∣nesse passed continually?

CHAP. III.

1. WO to the bloody City, that hath filled up her measure in the heaviest sins of lying, and extortion: and when she had got a trick of spoil and rapine, could never be brought to leave it.

2. For this must they hear the sound of the lash held over them, and the noise of the rat∣ling wheels (in the Chariots of war) and of the fierce galopping steeds in those swift chariots, that seem to skip and dance, as they passe along in their speedy pace.

3. Among these, the horseman shall advance his glittering spear, with his sparkling sword. After which, so great multitudes of the slain, and so many heaps of dead carkasses shall be thrown np together, that by the continual ac∣cesse of the dead corpses, a man shall not stir, but he shall be ready to stumble upon them.

4. And all this is but the just recompense of the spiritual whoredoms of the well-favoured harlot, that could charm and bewitched her Lo∣vers and was grown to be such a Mistresse in that Art, that she was able to enslave whole nati∣ons and families with her artificially-insinuating

and inchanting waies of love.

5. Therefore now (a) 1.46 have at thee thou shamelesse strumpet) saith the Lord of hosts, and I will punish thee according to thy own shame, suffering the skirts of thy garment to be thrown over thy face, that other nations may see thy nakednesse, and other kingdoms thy shame.

6. And, as thou hast made thy self vile, so this punishment shall be added of casting dirt and silth upon thee (as upon a notorious harlot) to make thee appear vile to others, and expose thee as an example, and publick spectacle for all to gaze at.

7. So that every one that sees thee, shall re∣move further off (as from an odious and abo∣minable sight) and shall say but this at the best. Ninive is spoiled (of all her wonted beauty and glory) and who will pitie, or bemoan her? (b) 1.47 where shall I find any that would comfort her in this distresse.

8. (They will rather say, thou art as justly punished as (c) 1.48 No in Egypt, or any other) For, why should thou scape better then No, that was like a graver Matron, and nursed up as much people. (A City as strong, and rich and plea∣santly seated as Ninive every way: for No was

scituate (like a little Island) among the rivers, that circled her about on every side. The Sea furnished her with continual supply of * 1.49 wealth: and the water with her wooden walls, was as strong a defense to No, as Ninives proud walls were to her.

9. Cush, (i Arabia) was another (d) 1.50 supply to her rich trading and Egypt. And (e) 1.51 where should I make an end of numbring the several people, that were advantageous to her, and and helped on her traffick, among whom were they of Africa, and specially of Lybia (the near∣est part to Egypt.)

10. Yet was this famous, and rich No carried away in captivity: her children were dashed in pieces, in all the eminentest parts of her own streets: The conquerors cast lots upon the no∣blest personages they had, to divide them like bondslaves among themselves: and bound all her greater and more honorable Citizens in chains.

11. Thou also, O Ninive, shalt tast as deep of that bitter cup of affliction, till thou art drunk with it (and hast no more power or understanding to contribute any thing to thy own relief, then a drunken man.) Thou shalt be fain to hide thy self, for shame: and when thou comest abroad)

for pure need be content to beg life and livelihood of thy very enemie (that hath sub∣dued thee, and reduced thee to so low a state.)

12. All thy castles and strong holds, in the mean time, shall as easily fall into the power of the enemy, as ripe figs, and other fruit (f) 1.52 that are come to their maturitie, and with the least shake of the tree, will even drop into the mouth of him, that hath a mind to eat them.

13. And if you wonder at the sodain fall of such strong holds, you may quickly see the reason of it, in the failing of your strong men, that are among you, who shall degenerate into the cowardize of women. Their fears shall open the gates of their land unto their enemies: who will be wise enough to set them all on fire (and so leave the passages free, at their plea∣sure, without being further beholden to your fears.

14. (Let them go on then to their other labour-in-vain, after all is already betrayed by their own cowardize, and thus bespeak their wretched Ninive) Prepare good store of water before hand, that may serve in the time of thy siege: Raise up some new forts of thy own (in several places of the City. Enter upon a sodain

devise of clay and brick to be trampled and moulded together, and of them some rampier to be raised, that from thence thou maiest defend the City, which hath been so kind to leave o∣pen her gates in that base manner, for the en∣tertainment of her enemies.)

15. (How long will this rare stratagem do thee any service, O Ninive?) How soon rather, in the very same place, shall the enemies fire∣works consume thee: and their swords, and and other weapons cut thee off: and their hun∣gry souldiers devour thee, as they would the canker-worm, (which is often a welcom food to them) Go then and fit thy self for their tooth, and before they eat thee up for a cater∣piller, or cankerworm, I encrease the troops of thy Souldiers, that they may be for number and mischief (as most souldiers are) like to the many swarms of caterpillers and locusts, that threaten the ruine of the place of their re∣sort.)

16. To this number of rude Souldiers, if thou couldst add so great a multitude of wealthy Merchants, as might equal the stars of heaven in number (and be all ready with a rich supply of their aid in this thy extremity) yet would your enemies prove to be the conquering locusts, and caterpillers, that will sodainly rush in upon you; spread over all your City in great swarms,

and do their work and sodainly vanish.

17. * 1.53 Thy strangers (that come in for thy aux∣iliaries) flock, to thee in such great troops, like the locusts. And, among them, the commanders of thy army are like the greater and (g) 1.54 greedier grashoppers, that, in the cold part of the day, line their hedges with multitudes, but as soon as they feel the heat of the Sun, away they fly. So will your mercenarie Commanders, and other pretended friends make a fair flourish about you for a while: but in the * 1.55 heat of the battle they will leave you all in the lurch: and the place they undertook to make good in your defence, ••hall not be able to show so much as the footsteps of those great undertakers.

18. Great was that cowardize and negligence of thy Commanders abroad: and as great was the drowsinesse and lazinesse and oversight of those thy Magistrates and Nobles at home, O King of Assyria. They took their ease when they should have been like vigilant and careful Shepherds, watching over the safety of the poor innocent people, that must go, like sheep, to the slaughter for their foolish oversight. Thy Nobles lay snorting in the bed of security, while the silly people, like so many tame cattle,

must be pursued, and dispersed in the mountai∣nous, and desert places, and have none to recal, and reunite them, and keep them together for their own defense.

19. And now, Ninive, what cure can there be for such a (h) 1.56 deadly brush, as hath been given thee by the best parts of thy own self? And yet, be thy wound never so dangerous, and incura∣ble, the worst is, they that hear the sad storie of thy miseries, will be so far from pitying thy heavy case, * 1.57 that they will applaud, and congra∣tulate themselves in the report of thy ruine, as in the fall of one, that hath ever been injurious and domineering over all.
