Nahum / Question
Question source
Nahum
Nahum mentions No-amon as a comparison point for Nineveh’s supposed strength. The passage recalls that No-amon still fell, so Nineveh should not assume it is secure (Nahum 3:8–10).
8Are you better than No-amon, who was situated among the rivers, who had the waters around her; whose rampart was the sea, and her wall was of the sea?
9Cush and Egypt were her boundless strength. Put and Libya were her helpers.
10Yet was she carried away. She went into captivity. Her young children also were dashed in pieces at the head of all the streets, and they cast lots for her honorable men, and all her great men were bound in chains.
