Nahum 3:8-11

Evangelical Heritage Version

⁸ Are you better^[a] than Thebes?^[b] She was located on the banks of the Nile. The waters surrounded her. Her strength was the sea, and her walls were the water. ⁹ Cush and Egypt had limitless strength. Put and the Libyans were among her allies. ¹⁰ Yet even she went into exile. Even her infants were smashed to pieces on every street corner. They cast lots to win her dignitaries. All her great men were bound with chains.

¹¹ You too will be drunk and will hide yourself. You too will seek refuge from the enemy.
