Nahum 3:8-11
Legacy Standard Bible
8 Are you better than [a](A)No-amon,
Which sits along the (B)waters of the Nile,
With water surrounding her,
Whose rampart was [b]the sea,
Whose wall consisted of [c]the sea?
9 [d](C)Ethiopia was her might,
And Egypt too, without end.
(D)Put and (E)Lubim were among [e]her helpers.
10 Yet she (F)became an exile;
She went into captivity;
Also her (G)infants were dashed to pieces
(H)At the head of every street;
They (I)cast lots for her honorable men,
And all her great men were bound with fetters.
11 You too will become (J)drunk;
You will be (K)hidden.
You too will search for a strong defense from the enemy.

Nahum 3:8-11
New International Version
8 Are you better than(A) Thebes,(B)
situated on the Nile,(C)
with water around her?
The river was her defense,
the waters her wall.
9 Cush[a](D) and Egypt were her boundless strength;
Put(E) and Libya(F) were among her allies.
10 Yet she was taken captive(G)
and went into exile.
Her infants were dashed(H) to pieces
at every street corner.
Lots(I) were cast for her nobles,
and all her great men were put in chains.(J)
11 You too will become drunk;(K)
you will go into hiding(L)
and seek refuge from the enemy.
