Nahum calls Nineveh the bloody city, which was probably the name given it by the Israelites and others who had felt the violence of its attacks. The prophet described in vivid detail one of its attacks, but with Nineveh as the victim. The LORD would return its violence upon its own head. The heaps of corpses would testify that the LORD does not allow such sin to go unpunished.
LORD, we fall at the foot of the cross, and plead his blood as atonement for our sins. Do not give us what we deserve. Give us your grace, for we fear your justice.
