8. You are no more secure than Thebes – she was located on the banks of the Nile;the waters surrounded her,herrampart was the sea,the water was her wall.
9. Cush and Egypt had limitless strength;Put and the Libyans were among her allies.
10. Yet she went into captivity as an exile;even her infants were smashed to pieces at the head of every street.They cast lots for her nobility;all her dignitaries were bound with chains.
11. You too will act like drunkards;you will go into hiding;you too will seek refuge from the enemy.
