8. Are you any better than the city of Thebes,situated on the Nile River, surrounded by water?She was protected by the river on all sides,walled in by water.
9. Ethiopia and the land of Egyptgave unlimited assistance.The nations of Put and Libyawere among her allies.
10. Yet Thebes fell,and her people were led away as captives.Her babies were dashed to deathagainst the stones of the streets.Soldiers threw dice to get Egyptian officers as servants.All their leaders were bound in chains.
