Nahum 3:11

Nineveh Will Suffer The Same Fate She Inflicted On Thebes

¹⁰
Yet she became an exile;
She went into captivity.
Her young children were dashed to pieces
At the head of every street;
They cast lots for her honorable men,
And all her great men were bound with chains.
¹¹ 
You too [Nineveh] will become drunk [with the cup of God’s wrath];
You will be hidden.
You too [Nineveh] will search [in vain] for a refuge from the enemy.
¹²
All your fortresses are [nothing but] fig trees with ripe figs—
When shaken they fall into the mouth of the eater.

When He arises to terrify the earth.
