Nahum 3:6-8

American Standard Version

⁶And I will cast abominable filth upon thee, and make thee vile, and will set thee as a gazing-stock. ⁷And it shall come to pass, that all they that look upon thee shall flee from thee, and say, Nineveh is laid waste: who will bemoan her? whence shall I seek comforters for thee?

⁸Art 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?
