Nineveh in Nahum 3
NIN-uh-vuh
This place shows up in Nahum 3:7: “It will happen that all those who look at you will flee from you, and say, ‘Nineveh is laid waste! Who will mourn for her?’ Where will I…” The Bible is not talking about a sticker. It is talking about a real place in a real place.
Nahum 3:7
“It will happen that all those who look at you will flee from you, and say, ‘Nineveh is laid waste! Who will mourn for her?’ Where will I seek comforters for you?””
