Nahum 3:8-10

8Remember the city of Thebes that was near the River Nile. It had water all round it. The river kept it safe, like a wall. Nineveh is not better than Thebes was.

9The countries of Ethiopia and Egypt were strong friends. And Put and Libya were strong friends too.

10But the enemies of Thebes took its people away and they made them slaves. They cut their babies to pieces in every street. They played games with the great men from Thebes and they put them in iron chains.
