Genesis 10:11

And they shall waste the land of Assyria with the sword, and the land of Nimrod in the entrances thereof: thus shall he deliver us from the Assyrian, when he cometh into our land, and when he treadeth within our borders.

The burden of Nineveh. The book of the vision of Nahum the Elkoshite.

Assur also is joined with them: they have holpen the children of Lot. Selah.

Arise, go to Nineveh, that great city, and cry against it; for their wickedness is come up before me.

Asshur is there and all her company: his graves are about him: all of them slain, fallen by the sword:

Then they came to Zerubbabel, and to the chief of the fathers, and said unto them, Let us build with you: for we seek your God, as ye do; and we do sacrifice unto him since the days of Esarhaddon king of Assur, which brought us up hither.

And ships shall come from the coast of Chittim, and shall afflict Asshur, and shall afflict Eber, and he also shall perish for ever.

Haran, and Canneh, and Eden, the merchants of Sheba, Asshur, and Chilmad, were thy merchants.

So Sennacherib king of Assyria departed, and went and returned, and dwelt at Nineveh.

And it shall come to pass, that all they that look upon thee shall flee from thee, and say, Nineveh is laid waste: who will bemoan her? whence shall I seek comforters for thee?

Asshur shall not save us; we will not ride upon horses: neither will we say any more to the work of our hands, Ye are our gods: for in thee the fatherless findeth mercy.

So Sennacherib king of Assyria departed, and went and returned, and dwelt at Nineveh.

Nevertheless the Kenite shall be wasted, until Asshur shall carry thee away captive.

But Nineveh is of old like a pool of water: yet they shall flee away. Stand, stand, shall they cry; but none shall look back.

And he will stretch out his hand against the north, and destroy Assyria; and will make Nineveh a desolation, and dry like a wilderness.
