Nahum 3:6-8

New King James Version

⁶I will cast abominable filth upon you,
Make you ^(A)vile,^[a]
And make you ^(B)a spectacle.
⁷It shall come to pass that all who look upon you
^(C)Will flee from you, and say,
^(D)‘Nineveh is laid waste!
^(E)Who will bemoan her?’
Where shall I seek comforters for you?”

⁸^(F)Are you better than ^(G)No^[b] Amon
That was situated by the ^[c]River,
That had the waters around her,
Whose rampart was the sea,
Whose wall was the sea?
