Matthew Poole and continuators on Nahum 3:7

7 And it shall come to pass that all they that look upon thee▪ shall flee from thee, and say Nineveh is laid waste , who will bemoan her? whence shall I seek comforters for thee?

It will most certainly be.

So soon as ever thou art seen, and discovered O Nineveh in thy vileness,

With hatred, loathing, and abhorrence for her former pride, and wickedness, and for her present miseries.

With wonder, scorn, rejoicing, and spreading the News.

Whose Bowels will be moved for her that had no Bowels for any one, who will move foot or hand toward her relief?

From what place? She hath wronged all her Neighbours, and ruin'd some of them, from amidst these, surely not one may be fetch't to speak comfortably to her; these do with reason upbraid her former cruelty and pride, and reioyce in her present calamity and ruine, and strangers will not be concern'd for her.
