← Nahum 3:8	Nahum 3:9 (KJV)	Nahum 3:10 →
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.	Yet [was] she carried away, she went into captivity: her young children also were dashed in pieces at the top of all the streets: and they cast lots for her honourable men, and all her great men were bound in chains.
