Nahum 3:9 - Compare All Versions

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

Cush was her strength; Egypt too, and that without limit; Put and the Libyans were her helpers.

Ethiopia and the land of Egypt gave unlimited assistance. The nations of Put and Libya were among her allies.

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

Ethiopia and Egypt were her strength, and it was infinite; Put and Lubim were thy helpers.

Ethiopia and Egypt were her strength, And it was boundless; Put and Lubim were your helpers.

Do you think you’re superior to Egyptian Thebes, proudly invincible on the River Nile, Protected by the great River, walled in by the River, secure? Ethiopia stood guard to the south, Egypt to the north. Put and Libya, strong friends, were ready to step in and help. But you know what happened to her: The whole city was marched off to a refugee camp, Her babies smashed to death in public view on the streets, Her prize leaders auctioned off, her celebrities put in chain gangs. Expect the same treatment, Nineveh. You’ll soon be staggering like a bunch of drunks, Wondering what hit you, looking for a place to sleep it off. All your forts are like peach trees, the lush peaches ripe, ready for the picking. One shake of the tree and they fall straight into hungry mouths. Face it: Your warriors are wimps. You’re sitting ducks. Your borders are gaping doors, inviting your enemies in. And who’s to stop them? * * *

Ethiopia was her might, Egypt too, without limits. Put and Lubim were among her helpers.

Ethiopia was her strength, And Egypt too, without limits. Put and Lubim were among her helpers.

Cush and Egypt had limitless strength; Put and the Libyans were among her allies.
