Nahum 3:10-12
Christian Standard Bible
10 Yet she became an exile;
she went into captivity.
Her children were also dashed to pieces(A)
at the head of every street.
They cast lots for her dignitaries,(B)
and all her nobles were bound in chains.
11 You[a] also will become drunk;
you will hide.[b]
You also will seek refuge from the enemy.
12 All your fortresses are fig trees
with figs that ripened first;
when shaken, they fall—
right into the mouth of the eater!
Nahum 3:10-12
New King James Version
10 Yet she was carried away,
She went into captivity;
(A)Her young children also were dashed to pieces
(B)At the head of every street;
They (C)cast lots for her honorable men,
And all her great men were bound in chains.
11 You also will be (D)drunk;
You will be hidden;
You also will seek refuge from the enemy.
12 All your strongholds are (E)fig trees with ripened figs:
If they are shaken,
They fall into the mouth of the eater.
Nahum 3:10-12
King James Version
10 Yet was she carried away, she went into captivity: her young children also were dashed in pieces at the top of all the streets: and they cast lots for her honourable men, and all her great men were bound in chains.
11 Thou also shalt be drunken: thou shalt be hid, thou also shalt seek strength because of the enemy.
12 All thy strong holds shall be like fig trees with the firstripe figs: if they be shaken, they shall even fall into the mouth of the eater.
