Context of Nahum 3:11
9Ethiopia was her might, And Egypt too, without limits. Put and Lubim were among her helpers. 10Yet she became an exile, She went into captivity; Also her small children were dashed to pieces At the head of every street; They cast lots for her honorable men, And all her great men were bound with fetters. You too will become drunk, You will be hidden. You too will search for a refuge from the enemy. 12All your fortifications are fig trees with ripe fruit-- When shaken, they fall into the eater’s mouth. 13Behold, your people are women in your midst! The gates of your land are opened wide to your enemies; Fire consumes your gate bars.

Commentaries on Nahum 3:11
- 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].
