Nineveh Will Suffer the Same Fate She Inflicted on Thebes

• 8 Are you better than Thebes?[fn] She who sits at the Nile, surrounded by her waters,
• her rampart was the sea and water was her wall.
  • 9 Cush was her strength, Egypt without end; Put and Libya were among your allies .[fn]
  • 10 Yet she went into captivity as an exile; her children were dashed to pieces at the head of the streets;
• they cast lots for all of her nobles;
  • all of her dignitaries were bound with chains.
  • 11 You also will behave like a drunkard; You also will hide yourself;
    • You also will seek refuge from the enemy.
