Nahum 3:9-12 Holman Christian Standard Bible (HCSB)

9. Cush and Egypt were her endless source of strength;Put and Libya were among her allies.

10. Yet 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.

11. You also will become drunk;you will hide yourself. You also will seek refuge from the enemy.

12. All your fortresses are fig treeswith figs that ripened first;when shaken, they fall —right into the mouth of the eater!
