Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Bible Commentary

7. all . that look upon thee-when thou hast been made "a gazing stock" (Na 3:6).

shall flee from thee-as a thing horrible to look upon. Compare "standing afar off," Re 18:10.

whence shall I seek comforters for thee?-Compare Isa 51:19, which Nahum had before his mind.

Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary

3:1-7 When proud sinners are brought down, others should learn not to lift themselves up. The fall of this great city should be a lesson to private persons, who increase wealth by fraud and oppression. They are preparing enemies for themselves; and if the Lord sees good to punish them in this world, they will have none to pity them. Every man who seeks his own prosperity, safety, and peace, should not only act in an upright, honourable manner, but with kindness to all.


Isaiah 51:19 These two things have befallen you; Who will mourn for you? The devastation and destruction, famine and sword; How shall I comfort you?
Jeremiah 15:5 "Indeed, who will have pity on you, O Jerusalem, Or who will mourn for you, Or who will turn aside to ask about your welfare? (NASB ©1995)
