Nahum 3:8-10
Revised Standard Version
Nahum 3:8-10
Revised Standard Version
8 Are you better than Thebes[a]
that sat by the Nile,
with water around her,
her rampart a sea,
and water her wall?
9 Ethiopia was her strength,
Egypt too, and that without limit;
Put and the Libyans were her[b] helpers.
10 Yet she was carried away,
she went into captivity;
her little ones were dashed in pieces
at the head of every street;
for her honored men lots were cast,
and all her great men were bound in chains.
