Nahum 2:8

8 Nineveh is like a pool whose water is draining away. “Stop! Stop!” they cry, but no one turns back.

Nahum 3:8

8 Are you better than Thebes, situated on the Nile, with water around her? The river was her defense, the waters her wall.

Nahum 3:14

14 Draw water for the siege, strengthen your defenses! Work the clay, tread the mortar, repair the brickwork!
