Nahum 3:10-12
New International Reader's Version
10 But Thebes was captured anyway.
Its people were taken away as prisoners.
Its babies were smashed to pieces
at every street corner.
The Assyrian soldiers cast lots
for all its nobles.
They put them in chains
and made slaves out of them.
11 People of Nineveh, you too will get drunk.
You will try to hide from your enemies.
You will look for a place of safety.
12 All your forts are like fig trees
that have their first ripe fruit on them.
When the trees are shaken,
the figs fall into the mouths
of those who eat them.
