Nahum 3:6-8

English Standard Version Anglicised

⁶ I will throw filth at you
    and ^(A)treat you with contempt
    and make you ^(B)a spectacle.
⁷ And all who look at you ^(C)will shrink from you and say,
Wasted is ^(D)Nineveh; ^(E)who will grieve for her?
    ^(F)Where shall I seek comforters for you?
^8 (G)Are you better than ^(H)Thebes^[a]
    that sat ^(I)by the Nile,
with water round her,
    her rampart a sea,
    and water her wall?
