Nahum 3:8-10

Living Bible

⁸ Are you any better than Thebes,^[a] straddling the Nile, protected on all sides by the river? ⁹ Ethiopia and the whole land of Egypt were her mighty allies, and she could call on them for infinite assistance, as well as Put and Libya. ¹⁰ Yet Thebes fell and her people were led off as slaves; her babies were dashed to death against the stones of the streets. Soldiers drew straws to see who would get her officers as servants. All her leaders were bound in chains.
