Nahum3:18
18. Thy shepherds--that is, Thy leaders.
slumber--are carelessly secure [Maurer]. Rather, "lie in death's sleep, having been slain" [Jerome] (Ex 15:16; Psa 76:6).
shall dwell in the dust--(Psa 7:5; 94:17).
thy people is scattered--the necessary consequence of their leaders being laid low (1Ki 22:17).
