Nahum 3:9
Compare all
7 It shall come to pass that all who look upon you
aWill flee from you, and say,
b‘Nineveh is laid waste!
cWho will bemoan her?’
Where shall I seek comforters for you?” 
8 aAre you better than bNo Amon
That was situated by the1 River,
That had the waters around her,
Whose rampart was the sea,
Whose wall was the sea? 
9 Ethiopia and Egypt were her strength,
And it was boundless;
aPut and Lubim were your helpers. 
10 Yet she was carried away,
She went into captivity;
aHer young children also were dashed to pieces
bAt the head of every street;
They ccast lots for her honorable men,
And all her great men were bound in chains. 
11 You also will be adrunk;
You will be hidden;
You also will seek refuge from the enemy.

Her strength - Furnishing soldiers and warlike assistance. It was infinite - There was no end to their confidence and warlike provisions. Put - Or the Moors, who lie westward of Alexandria. Lubim - The people that inhabited that which is now called Cyrene.
