Nahum 3:8
New King James Version
8 (A)Are you better than (B)No[a] Amon
That was situated by the [b]River,
That had the waters around her,
Whose rampart was the sea,
Whose wall was the sea?
Amos 6:2
New King James Version
2 (A)Go over to (B)Calneh and see;
And from there go to (C)Hamath the great;
Then go down to Gath of the Philistines.
(D)Are you better than these kingdoms?
Or is their territory greater than your territory?
Ezekiel 30:14-16
New King James Version
14 I will make (A)Pathros desolate,
Set fire to (B)Zoan,
(C)And execute judgments in [a]No.
15 I will pour My fury on [b]Sin, the strength of Egypt;
(D)I will cut off the multitude of [c]No,
16 And (E)set a fire in Egypt;
Sin shall have great pain,
No shall be split open,
And Noph shall be in distress daily.

New King James Version
2 “Son of man, say to Pharaoh king of Egypt and to his multitude:
(A)‘Whom are you like in your greatness?
3 (B)Indeed Assyria was a cedar in Lebanon,
With fine branches that shaded the forest,
And of high stature;
And its top was among the thick boughs.

25 The Lord of hosts, the God of Israel, says: “Behold, I will bring punishment on [a]Amon of (A)No,[b] and Pharaoh and Egypt, (B)with their gods and their kings—Pharaoh and those who (C)trust in him. 26 (D)And I will deliver them into the hand of those who seek their lives, into the hand of Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon and the hand of his servants. (E)Afterward it shall be inhabited as in the days of old,” says the Lord.

New King James Version
5 (A)The waters will fail from the sea,
And the river will be wasted and dried up.
6 The rivers will turn foul;
The brooks (B)of defense will be emptied and dried up;
The reeds and rushes will wither.
7 The papyrus reeds by [a]the River, by the mouth of the River,
And everything sown by the River,
Will wither, be driven away, and be no more.
8 The fishermen also will mourn;
All those will lament who cast hooks into the River,
And they will languish who spread nets on the waters.
9 Moreover those who work in (C)fine flax
And those who weave fine fabric will be ashamed;
10 And its foundations will be broken.
All who make wages will be troubled of soul.
