Nah 2:8 | KingComments | STEP | Nineveh has been arrogant and proud since her birth. Now that her end has come, there is nothing left of it. What offered a natural protection, has become her downfall. Here again irony can be heard. What she first enjoyed in selfishness as the content of her origin and life, is the cause of her death. Orders to soldiers to stay at their posts are ignored by them. They have all fled in panic.
