Nahum 3,8

NileThebes
Judgment

6 Jeg vil kaste skam over deg
Og gjøre deg foraktet,
Og sette deg opp som et skue.

7 Og det skal skje at alle som ser deg
Vil vike unna deg og si,
‘Nineve er ødelagt!
Hvem vil vise henne medfølelse?’
Hvor skal jeg finne trøstere for deg?”

Er du bedre enn No-Amon,
Som lå ved Nilens kanaler,
Omgitt av vann,
Hvis voll var havet,
Hvis mur besto av havet?

9 Kusj var hennes styrke, også Egypt uten grenser.
Put og Lubim var blant hennes hjelpere.

10 Likevel ble hun en flyktning,
Hun gikk i fangenskap;
Også hennes små barn ble knust i stykker
Ved hodet av hver gate;
De kastet lodd om hennes ærefulle menn,
Og alle hennes store menn ble bundet med lenker.

Read the whole chapter

This was said to Israel at a particular time, so it is wise to read it together with the surrounding text. Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
