New King James Version
Nahum 3:8-11
New King James Version
8 (A)Are you better than (B)No[a] Amon
That was situated by the [b]River,
That had the waters around her,
Whose rampart was the sea,
Whose wall was the sea?
9 Ethiopia and Egypt were her strength,
And it was boundless;
(C)Put and Lubim were [c]your helpers.
10 Yet she was carried away,
She went into captivity;
(D)Her young children also were dashed to pieces
(E)At the head of every street;
They (F)cast lots for her honorable men,
And all her great men were bound in chains.
11 You also will be (G)drunk;
You will be hidden;
You also will seek refuge from the enemy.

8 Art thou better than No-amon, that was situate among the [a]rivers, that had the waters round about her; whose rampart was [b]the sea, and her wall was of the sea? 9 Ethiopia and Egypt were her strength, and it was infinite; Put and Lubim were thy helpers. 10 Yet was she carried away, she went into captivity; her young children also were dashed in pieces at the head of all the streets; and they cast lots for her honorable men, and all her great men were bound in chains. 11 Thou also shalt be drunken; thou shalt be hid; thou also shalt seek [c]a stronghold because of the enemy.

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)
