Commentary

Commentary on Nahum 3:19

Theological / Devotional

No healing. Literally, “no lessening,” or “no relief.”

Bruit. Heb. shema‘, “a report” (see Gen. 29:13; Ex. 23:1; Deut. 2:25; etc.). At the news of Nineveh’s downfall, the surrounding nations are pictured as clapping their hands in joy because it will mean the end of Assyria’s ceaseless “wickedness” and relentless oppression. The prophet ends his message on a note of certainty and finality. Assyria has received its day of grace; but now it is useless to offer mercy longer.
