Nahum 3:9 in context

  1. 7It will happen that all those who look at you will flee from you, and say, ‘Nineveh is laid waste! Who will mourn for her?’ Where will I seek comforters for you?”
  2. 8Are you better than No-Amon, who was situated among the rivers, who had the waters around her; whose rampart was the sea, and her wall was of the sea?
  3. 9Cush and Egypt were her boundless strength. Put and Libya were her helpers.
  4. 10Yet was she carried away. She went into captivity. Her young children also were dashed in pieces at the head of all the streets, and they cast lots for her honorable men, and all her great men were bound in chains.
  5. 11You also will be drunken. You will be hidden. You also will seek a stronghold because of the enemy.
