'Water' in the Bible

Nineveh has been like a pool of waterfrom her first days,but they are fleeing.“Stop! Stop!” they cry,but no one turns back.

Are you better than Thebesthat sat along the Nilewith water surrounding her,whose rampart was the sea,the river her wall?

Draw water for the siege;strengthen your fortresses.Step into the clay and tread the mortar;take hold of the brick-mold!
