7. “And it shall be that all who see you flee from you, and say, ‘Ninewĕh is laid waste! Who does mourn for her?’ Where do I seek comforters for you?”

9. Kush and Mitsrayim were her strength, even unlimited. Put and Luḇim were your helpers.

11. You too are to become drunk, you are to go into hiding. You too are to seek refuge from the enemy.
