Charles Spurgeon Commentary
"Behold, I am against thee, saith Jehovah of hosts, and I will uncover thy skirts upon thy face; and I will show the nations thy nakedness, and the kingdoms thy shame. And I will cast abominable filth upon thee, and make thee vile, and will set thee as a gazing-stock." — Nahum 3:5-6 (ASV)
And I will uncover your skirts upon your face, and I will show the nations your nakedness, and the kingdoms your shame. And I will cast abominable filth upon you, and make you vile, and will set you as a gazingstock.
See what God can do. They were the proudest of the proud, and now he makes them the scorn of the scorner, and sets them as a spectacle. May God never deal in that way with any proud person here! He can easily do it; when we set ourselves up to be little gods, he can soon make us utterly mean and contemptible, and bring us down to nothing at all. It is his way to deal in this way with the proud.
