Nahum 3:6-8
New Living Translation

6 I will cover you with filth
    and show the world how vile you really are.
7 All who see you will shrink back and say,
    ‘Nineveh lies in ruins.
Where are the mourners?’
    Does anyone regret your destruction?”

8 Are you any better than the city of Thebes,[a]
    situated on the Nile River, surrounded by water?
She was protected by the river on all sides,
    walled in by water.
