Nahum 3:8-11
Christian Standard Bible
8 Are you better than Thebes[a](A)
that sat along the Nile
with water surrounding her,
whose rampart was the sea,
the river[b][c] her wall?
9 Cush and Egypt were her endless source of strength;
Put and Libya were among her[d] allies.
10 Yet she became an exile;
she went into captivity.
Her children were also dashed to pieces(B)
at the head of every street.
They cast lots for her dignitaries,(C)
and all her nobles were bound in chains.
11 You[e] also will become drunk;
you will hide.[f]
You also will seek refuge from the enemy.
Nahum 3:8-11
New American Standard Bible
8 Are you better than [a](A)No-amon,
Which was situated by the (B)canals of the Nile,
With water surrounding her,
Whose rampart was [b]the sea,
Whose wall consisted of [c]the sea?
9 (C)Ethiopia was her might,
Egypt too, without limits.
(D)Put and (E)Lubim were among [d]her helpers.
10 Yet she (F)became an exile,
She went into captivity;
Also her (G)small children were smashed to pieces
(H)At the head of every street;
They (I)cast lots for her honorable men,
And all her great men were bound with shackles.
11 You too will become (J)drunk,
You will be (K)hidden.
You too will search for a refuge from the enemy.
