Nahum 3:7-9

Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition

⁷ And it shall come to pass that every one that shall see thee, shall flee from thee, and shall say: Ninive is laid waste: who shall bemoan thee? whence shall I seek a comforter for thee?

⁸ Art thou better than the populous Alexandria, that dwelleth among the rivers? waters are round about it: the sea is its riches, the waters are its walls.

⁹ Ethiopia and Egypt were the strength thereof, and there is no end: Africa and the Libyans were thy helpers.
