Nahum 3:7-9

New Life Version

⁷ All who see you will leave you and say, ‘Nineveh is destroyed! Who will have sorrow for her?’ Where can I find anyone to comfort you?”

⁸ Are you better than Thebes, which is by the Nile River? Water was all around her. The sea kept her safe, for the water was her wall. ⁹ Ethiopia and Egypt were her strength, with too many to number. Put and Lubim were among her helpers.
