Commentary on Nahum 3:6

Theological / Devotional

Filth. Heb. shiqqus, “a detested thing,” generally used of something connected with idol worship.

A gazingstock. The LXX reads “a public example” (see Matt. 1:19). Continuing the figure of the “harlot” (Nahum 3:4), the prophet foretells that Nineveh would suffer the ignominy and ill-treatment that such a woman might receive from the rabble (see Eze. 16:37-40).
