Context of Nahum 3:11
9Cush and Egypt were her endless source of strength; Put and Libya were among her allies. 10Yet she became an exile; she went into captivity. Her children were also dashed to pieces at the head of every street. They cast lots for her dignitaries, and all her nobles were bound in chains. You also will become drunk; you will hide. You also will seek refuge from the enemy. 12All your fortresses are fig trees with figs that ripened first; when shaken, they fall — right into the mouth of the eater! 13Look, your troops are like women among you; your land’s city gates are wide open to your enemies. Fire will devour the bars of your gates.

- Barnes’ Notes on the Bible · v. 11Thou also - As thou hast done, so shall it be done unto thee. The cruelties on No, in the cycle of God‘s judgments, draw on the like upon Nineveh who inflicted them. “Thou also shalt be drunken” with the same cup of God‘s anger, entering within thee as wine doth, bereaving thee of reason and of counsel through the greatness of thy anguish, and bringing shame on thee, and a stupefaction like death. “Thou shalt be hid, a thing hidden” from the eyes of men…Read the comment
- Matthew Henry Concise Commentary · v. 8-19Verses 8-19 Strong-holds, even the strongest, are no defence against the judgments of God. They shall be unable to do any thing for themselves.

Those that have done evil to their neighbours, will find it come home to them. Nineveh, and many other cities, states…Read the comment
- Jamieson–Fausset–Brown Commentary · v. 1111. drunken--made to drink of the cup of Jehovah's wrath (Is 51:17, 21; Jr 25:15). hid--covered out of sight: a prediction remarkably verified in the state in which the ruins of Nineveh have been found [G. V. Smith]. But as "hid" precedes "seek strength," &c., it rather refers to Nineveh's state when attacked by her foe: "Thou who now so vauntest thyself, shalt be compelled to seek a hiding-place from the foe" [Calvin]; or, shalt be neglected and slighted…Read the comment
