Nahum 3:11 - Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible

Thou, O Nineveh, shalt be drunken; not only taste, but drink deep, yea, be drunk with the bitter cup of God's displeasure and thine enemies rage, Isaiah 29:9 Obadiah 1:16. Thou shalt be hid; either hide thyself, or be so weakened and diminished, that thou shalt no more appear; or else be as contemptible, laid by in some obscure place; fear and shame shall cover thee. Thou also, O Nineveh, as well as Alexandria, shalt seek strength, shalt sue for and entreat assistance, because of the enemy, or from the enemy; i.e. either thus, in thy distress thou shalt seek for strength from such as are really thine enemies, though they make a league with thee; or thus, thou shalt beg protection from thy enemy that hath captivated thee, and rely on the mercy of him against the rage of others.
