Commentary on Nahum 1:10

Theological / Devotional

Thorns. See Num. 33:55; Joshua 23:13. Though the Assyrian army should form a front as impenetrable as a thorn hedge, God could easily overcome them (see Isa. 27:4).

Drunken. The experience of Assyria would parallel that of Babylon in some respects (see Dan. 5:1). In any case, there can be no doubt that the Assyrians were fond of feasting and drinking (see Diodorus ii. 26).
