Nahum 3:6-8

Christian Standard Bible

⁶I will throw filth on you
and treat you with contempt;^(A)
I will make a spectacle of you.
⁷Then all who see you will recoil from you, saying,^(B)
“Nineveh is devastated;
who will show sympathy to her?”
Where can I find anyone to comfort you?

⁸Are you better than Thebes^[a]^(C)
that sat along the Nile
with water surrounding her,
whose rampart was the sea,
the river^[b]^[c] her wall?
