Nahum 3:8-12

3:8

Art thou better
<03190> (8686)

than populous
<0527> (8675) <0528>

No
<04996>_,

that was situate
<03427> (8802)

among the rivers
<02975>_,

[that had] the waters
<04325>

round about
<05439>

it, whose rampart
<02426>

[was] the sea
<03220>_,

[and] her wall
<02346>

[was] from the sea
<03220>_?

{populous...: or, nourishing, etc: Heb. No Amon}

3:9

Ethiopia
<03568>

and Egypt
<04714>

[were] her strength
<06109>_,

and [it was] infinite
<0369> <07097>_;

Put
<06316>

and Lubim
<03864>

were thy helpers
<05833>_.

{thy helpers: Heb. in thy help}

3:10

Yet [was] she carried away
<01473>_,

she went
<01980> (8804)

into captivity
<07628>_:

her young children
<05768>

also were dashed in pieces
<07376> (8792)

at the top
<07218>

of all the streets
<02351>_:

and they cast
<03032> (8804)

lots
<01486>

for her honourable men
<03513> (8737)_,

and all her great men
<01419>

were bound
<07576> (8795)

in chains
<02131>_.

3:11

Thou also shalt be drunken
<07937> (8799)_:

thou shalt be hid
<05956> (8737)_,

thou also shalt seek
<01245> (8762)

strength
<04581>

because of the enemy
<0341> (8802)_.

3:12

All thy strong holds
<04013>

[shall be like] fig trees
<08384>

with the firstripe figs
<01061>_:

if they be shaken
<05128> (8735)_,

they shall even fall
<05307> (8804)

into the mouth
<06310>

of the eater
<0398> (8802)_.
