Nahum 3:8


Nahum 3:7 Nahum 3:8 (KJV) Nahum 3:9
And it shall come to pass, [that] all they that look upon thee shall flee from thee, and say, Nineveh is laid waste: who will bemoan her? whence shall I seek comforters for thee?
Art thou better than populous No, that was situate among the rivers, [that had] the waters round about it, whose rampart [was] the sea, [and] her wall [was] from the sea?
Ethiopia and Egypt [were] her strength, and [it was] infinite; Put and Lubim were thy helpers.
