But Nineveh is of old like a pool of water: yet they shall flee away. Stand, stand, shall they cry; but none shall look back.
Nínive era como un estanque tranquilo y lleno de agua, estable y próspera. ¿Pero ahora? Todos corren por sus vidas. La gente grita '¡Deténganse! ¡Manténganse firmes!' pero nadie siquiera voltea atrás mientras huye.
Nínive pasó de ser una ciudad próspera y estable a un lugar del cual todos huyen desesperadamente sin mirar atrás.
📚 Contexto Histórico
The book of Nahum was written by the prophet Nahum in the 7th century BC, during the height of the Assyrian Empire's dominance in the ancient Near East. Nineveh, as its capital, was a fortified city known for its wealth, military power, and history of brutal conquests, including the oppression of Israel and other nations. This verse depicts the prophesied chaos and flight of its people as God's judgment approached, which was fulfilled when Nineveh was destroyed by Babylonian and Median forces in 612 BC.
