Nahum 3:7-9

Lexham English Bible

⁷ “And it will be that everyone who sees you will flee from you,
    And they^[a] will say, ‘Nineveh is destroyed!’
Who will mourn for her?
    From whence shall I seek comforters for you?”

⁸ Are you better than Thebes?^[b]
    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.^[c]
