QR code
"The Bible, Douay-Rheims, Book 39: Nahum" is a prophetic book attributed to the prophet Nahum, likely written between 663 BC and 612 BC. This brief three-chapter work delivers a fierce oracle against Nineveh, the prosperous capital of the Assyrian Empire at its height of glory. Nahum denounces the "bloody city all full of lies and robbery" and proclaims its approaching destruction. Through vivid poetry, battle imagery, and biting irony, the prophet depicts
the siege and ultimate downfall of this seemingly invincible fortress. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
