Violence and Cruelty in Nahum

- "Behold, I am against thee, saith the LORD of hosts, and I will burn her
chariots." 2:13
- "There is a multitude of slain, and a great number of carcasses; and there is none end of their corpses; they stumble
upon their corpses." Now that's a lot of dead people. 3:3
- God punished Nineveh by enslaving the people and smashing the little children in the
streets. 3:10

cankerworm." 3:15
