Nahum 3:8 - Wesley's Explanatory Notes

Bible Comments

Thou — O Nineveh. No — It is supposed this was what we now called Alexandria. Art thou greater, stronger, and wiser? Yet all her power was broken, her riches spoiled, and her glory buried in ruins. Rampart — The defence of its walls on one side. Her wall — A mighty, strong wall, built from the sea landward.

Nahum 3:8

8 Art thou better than populousc No, that was situate among the rivers, that had the waters round about it, whose rampart was the sea, and her wall was from the sea?
