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.
Nahum 3:8-11
Lexham English Bible
Nineveh Will Suffer the Same Fate She Inflicted on Thebes
8 Are you better than Thebes?[a]
She who sits at the Nile, surrounded by her waters,
her rampart was the sea and water was her wall.
9 Cush was her strength, Egypt without end;
Put and Libya were among your allies.[b]
10 Yet she went into captivity as an exile;
her children were dashed to pieces at the head of the streets;
they cast lots for all of her nobles;
all of her dignitaries were bound with chains.
11 You also will behave like a drunkard;
You also will hide yourself;
You also will seek refuge from the enemy.
