Nahum 3:1

Woe to the bloody city -Literally, “city of bloods” , i. e., of manifold bloodshedding, built and founded in bloodHabakkuk 2:12;Jeremiah 22:13, as the prosperity of the world ever is. Murder, oppression, wresting of judgment, war out of covetousness, grinding or neglect of the poor, make it “a city of bloods.” Nineveh, or the world, is a city of the devil, as opposed to the “city of God.” : “Two sorts of love have made two sorts of cities; the earthly, love of self even to contempt of God; the heavenly, love of God even to contempt of self.
