But with an overwhelming flood he will make a complete end of Nineveh; he will drive his enemies into darkness.

Nineveh is taken into exile and is led away; her slave girls moan like doves while they beat their breasts.

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.

You too will act like drunkards; you will go into hiding; you too will seek refuge from the enemy.

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!
