7. “And it will be that everyone who sees you will flee from you, And they will say, ‘Nineveh is destroyed!’ Who will mourn for her? From whence shall I seek comforters for you?”
8. Are you better than Thebes? 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.
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.
