Nahum 3:8-10

8 Are you better than Thebes,
situated on the Nile,
with water around her?
The river was her defense,
the waters her wall.

9 Cush and Egypt were her boundless strength;
Put and Libya were among her allies.

10 Yet she was taken captive
and went into exile.
Her infants were dashed to pieces
at the head of every street.
Lots were cast for her nobles,
and all her great men were put in chains.
