Nahum 3:8
Berean Standard Bible
Are you better than Thebes,* stationed by the Nile with water around her, whose rampart was the sea, whose wall was the water?
Context
6I will pelt you with filth
and treat you with contempt;
I will make a spectacle of you. 7Then all who see you
will recoil from you and say,
‘Nineveh is devastated;
who will grieve for her?’
Where can I find
comforters for you?” 8Are you better than Thebes,*
stationed by the Nile with water around her,
whose rampart was the sea,
whose wall was the water? 9Cush * and Egypt were her boundless strength;
Put and Libya were her allies. 10Yet she became an exile;
she went into captivity.
Her infants were dashed to pieces
at the head of every street.
They cast lots for her dignitaries,
and all her nobles were bound in chains.
