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 Revised Standard Version Updated Edition
8 Are you better than Thebes[a]
that sat by the Nile,
with water around her,
her rampart a sea,
water her wall?(A)
9 Cush was her strength,
Egypt, too, and that without limit;
Put and the Libyans were her[b] helpers.(B)
10 Yet she became an exile;
she went into captivity;
even her infants were dashed in pieces
at the head of every street;
lots were cast for her nobles;
all her dignitaries were bound in fetters.(C)
11 You also will be drunken;
you will go into hiding;[c]
you will seek
a refuge from the enemy.(D)
