Nahum 3:7-9

Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition

⁷And all who look on you will shrink from you and say,
Wasted is Nin′eveh; who will bemoan her?
whence shall I seek comforters for her?^[a]

⁸Are you better than Thebes^[b]
    that sat by the Nile,
with water around her,
    her rampart a sea,
    and water her wall?
⁹Ethiopia was her strength,
    Egypt too, and that without limit;
    Put and the Libyans were her^[c] helpers.
