6 I will pelt you with filth;I will treat you with contempt;I will make you a public spectacle.
7 Everyone who sees you will turn away from you in disgust;they will say, ‘Nineveh has been devastated!Who will lament for her?’There will be no one to comfort you!”
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.
12 All your fortifications will be like fig trees with first-ripe fruit:If they are shaken, their figs will fall into the mouth of the eater!
