6. I will pelt you with filth,I will treat you with contemptand make you a spectacle.
7. All who see you will flee from you and say,“Nineveh is in ruins – who will mourn for her?”Where can I find anyone to comfort you?’
8. Are you better than Thebes,situated on the Nile,with water around her?The river was her defence,the waters her wall.
9. Cush and Egypt were her boundless strength;Put and Libya were among her allies.
