Nahum 3:7-9
International Standard Version

7 It will be that everyone who looks at you will run away, saying,
    ‘Nineveh has been violently overthrown!
        Who will mourn for her?
    Where will I find anyone to comfort you?’”

Thebes: an Example of God’s Justice

8 “Are you any better than Thebes,[a]
    which sits by the upper Nile, surrounded by water?
The sea was her defense,
    the waters her wall of protection.[b]
9 Sudan[c] was her source of strength, along with Egypt—
    there were no limits.
Put and the Libyans were her allies.
