Nahum 3:8-13

8Art thou betterH3190 than No-amon, that was situate among the riversH2975, that had the watersH4325 roundH5439 about her; whose rampartH2426 was the seaH3220, and her wallH2346 was of the seaH3220? 9Ethiopia and EgyptH4714 wereH1961 her strength, and it was infinite; PutH6316 and Lubim wereH1961 thy helpers. 10Yet was she carried away, she wentH1980 into captivityH7628; her young childrenH5768 alsoH1571 were dashedH7376 in pieces at the headH7218 of all the streetsH2351; and they castH3032 lotsH1486 for her honorable men, and all her greatH1419 men were bound in chains. 11Thou alsoH1571 shalt beH1961 drunken; thou shalt beH1961 hid; thou alsoH1571 shalt seekH1245 a strongholdH4581 because of the enemyH341. 12All thy fortressesH4013 shall be like fig-trees with the first-ripe figsH8384: if they be shakenH5128, they fallH5307 into the mouthH6310 of the eater. 13Behold, thy peopleH5971 in the midstH7130 of thee are womenH802; the gatesH8179 of thy landH776 are set wide openH6605 unto thine enemiesH341: the fireH784 hath devouredH398 thy barsH1280.
