Nahum 3:19. There is no healing of thy bruise; thy wound is grievous:
Thank God, we have not come to that point yet, there is healing for the bruised sinner! Though the wounds of our people are grievous, there is a balm for them; we know where it is, and what it is; let us not be slow to tell them about it.
Nahum 3:19. All that hear the bruit of thee shall clap the hands over thee:
I think that is the old Norman-French word, "bruit," signifying noise or tumult, that has been left in our Bible.
Nahum 3:19. For upon whom hath not thy wickedness passed continually?
Nineveh had been so wicked, and had done so much evil, that when men heard that it was destroyed, they would even clap their hands for very joy that such an evil-doer was out of the way.
I know not to what purpose I was moved to read this passage; but it is specially meant for some one, to whom may God apply it by his Spirit!
This exposition consisted of readings from Nahum 2:11-13; Nahum 2:3.
