Nahum 3:7-9

Amplified Bible, Classic Edition

⁷ And all who look on you will shrink and flee from you and say, Nineveh is laid waste; who will pity and bemoan her? Where [then] shall I seek comforters for you?

⁸ Are you better than No-amon [Thebes, capital of Upper Egypt], that dwelt by the rivers or canals, that had the waters round about her, whose rampart was a sea [the Nile] and water her wall?

⁹ Ethiopia and Egypt were her strength, and that without limit. Put and the Libyans were her helpers.
