Nahum 3:9-11

Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition

⁹Ethiopia was her strength,
Egypt too, and that without limit;
Put and the Libyans were her^[a] helpers.

¹⁰Yet 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.
¹¹You also will be drunken,
    you will be dazed;
you will seek
    a refuge from the enemy.
