Nahum 3:9

Read in context

Nahum 3:7–11 · Berean Standard Bible

7 Then all who see you will recoil from you and say, ‘Nineveh is devastated; who will grieve for her?’ Where can I find comforters for you?”

8 Are you better than Thebes, stationed by the Nile with water around her, whose rampart was the sea, whose wall was the water?

9 Cush and Egypt were her boundless strength; Put and Libya were her allies.

10 Yet she became an exile; she went into captivity. Her infants were dashed to pieces at the head of every street. They cast lots for her dignitaries, and all her nobles were bound in chains.

11 You too will become drunk; you will go into hiding and seek refuge from the enemy.
