Nahum 3:8-13

8Are you better than Thebes, situated on the Nile, with water around her? The river was her defense, the waters her wall.

9Cush That is, the upper Nile region and Egypt were her boundless strength; Put and Libya were among her allies.

10Yet she was taken captive and went into exile. Her infants were dashed to pieces at every street corner. Lots were cast for her nobles, and all her great men were put in chains.

11You too will become drunk; you will go into hiding and seek refuge from the enemy.

12All your fortresses are like fig trees with their first ripe fruit; when they are shaken, the figs fall into the mouth of the eater.

13Look at your troops— they are all weaklings. The gates of your land are wide open to your enemies; fire has consumed the bars of your gates.
