8 Are you better than 3:8 I.e., the city of Amon: ThebesNo-amon,
Which was situated by the canals of the Nile,
With water surrounding her,
Whose rampart was3:8 I.e., the Nilethe sea,
Whose wall consisted of 3:8 I.e., the Nilethe sea?
9 Ethiopia was her might,
Egypt too, without limits.
Put and Lubim were among 3:9 Lit yourher helpers.
10 Yet she became an exile,
She went into captivity;
Also her small children were smashed to pieces
At the head of every street;
They cast lots for her honorable men,
And all her great men were bound with shackles.
