6 I will cast abominable filth upon you,Make you vile,And make you a spectacle.
7 It shall come to pass that all who look upon youWill flee from you, and say,‘Nineveh is laid waste!Who will bemoan her?’Where shall I seek comforters for you?”
8 Are you better than No AmonThat was situated by the River,That had the waters around her,Whose rampart was the sea,Whose wall was the sea?
9 Ethiopia and Egypt were her strength,And it was boundless;Put and Lubim were your helpers.
10 Yet she was carried away,She went into captivity;Her young children also were dashed to piecesAt the head of every street;They cast lots for her honorable men,And all her great men were bound in chains.
11 You also will be drunk;You will be hidden;You also will seek refuge from the enemy.
12 All your strongholds are fig trees with ripened figs:If they are shaken,They fall into the mouth of the eater.
