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.
11. And you, Nineveh, will also stagger like a drunkard.You will hide for fear of the attacking enemy.
12. All your fortresses will fall.They will be devoured like the ripe figsthat fall into the mouthsof those who shake the trees.
