Nahum 3:8-11
Legacy Standard Bible

8 Are you better than [a](A)No-amon,
Which sits along the (B)waters of the Nile,
With water surrounding her,
Whose rampart was [b]the sea,
Whose wall consisted of [c]the sea?
9 [d](C)Ethiopia was her might,
And Egypt too, without end.
(D)Put and (E)Lubim were among [e]her helpers.
10 Yet she (F)became an exile;
She went into captivity;
Also her (G)infants were dashed 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 fetters.
11 You too will become (J)drunk;
You will be (K)hidden.
You too will search for a strong defense from the enemy.

Nahum 3:8-11
New American Standard Bible 1995

8 Are you better than [a](A)No-amon,
Which was situated by the (B)waters 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,
And 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 dashed 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 fetters.
11 You too will become (J)drunk,
You will be (K)hidden.
You too will search for a refuge from the enemy.
