ExplanationCommentary
Verse 1. Face, O Juda. Septuagint “who blows on thy face, (Genesis 2:7) freeing from misery.” Here S. Jerom’s Greek copy ends the chap. Bible.—Watch. Behold Nabopolassar is about to attack thy enemies. Some think that Nahum addresses Ninive ironically. Calmet.—Nabuchodonosor wasted all the environs, and then took the city ( Worthington.) after his other conquests. Calmet.—But his father is here denoted. Bible.
