Nineveh Will Suffer The Same Fate She Inflicted On Thebes

9 Cush was her strength; Egypt too, and that without limit; Put and the Libyans were her helpers. 10 Yet she became an exile,
She went into captivity;
Also her small children were dashed to pieces
At the head of every street;
They cast lots for her honorable men,
And all her great men were bound with fetters.
11 You also will be drunken; you will go into hiding; you will seek a refuge from the enemy.
