Nahum 3:6-8

Lexham English Bible

⁶ “I will throw filth upon you,
    I will treat you with contempt,
        I will make you a spectacle.
⁷ “And it will be that everyone who sees you will flee from you,
    And they^[a] will say, ‘Nineveh is destroyed!’
Who will mourn for her?
    From whence shall I seek comforters for you?”

⁸ Are you better than Thebes?^[b]
    She who sits at the Nile, surrounded by her waters,
her rampart was the sea and water was her wall.
