Nahum 3:3-4

Dear Father, please guide us into your will and protect us from using the seductiveness of money and power as the basis of our choices for our lives and the life of our nation.

Horses and chariots were instruments of war. Verse 3 describes the horrors of the nation’s war machine, which resulted in countless corpses. Harlotries refers to paganism. Any worship of gods other than the God of Scripture is an act of spiritual prostitution. Nineveh was so adept at pagan practices that the city earned the descriptive title, the mistress of sorceries.

Nahum 3:3-4

³ Horsemen charge with bright sword and glittering spear. 
There is a multitude of slain, 
A great number of bodies, 
Countless corpses— 
They stumble over the corpses— 
⁴ Because of the multitude of harlotries of the seductive harlot, 
The mistress of sorceries, 
Who sells nations through her harlotries, 
And families through her sorceries.
