Nahum 3:6-8

Contemporary English Version

⁶ I will cover you with garbage,
treat you like trash,
    and rub you in the dirt.
⁷ Everyone who sees you
    will turn away and shout,
“Nineveh is done for!
Is anyone willing to mourn
    or to give her comfort?”

⁸ Nineveh, do you feel safer
    than the city of Thebes?^[a]
The Nile River
    was its wall of defense.^[b]
