   situated on the Nile,

   with water around her?

   the waters her wall.

   Put and Libya were among her allies.

   at every street corner.

   Lots were cast for her nobles,

   and all her great men were put in chains.

   walled in by water.

7. DRA Douay-Rheims American 1899

   8 Art thou better than the populous Alexandria, that dwelleth among the rivers? waters are round about it: the sea is its riches, the waters are its walls. 9 Ethiopia and Egypt were the strength thereof, and there is no end: Africa and the Libyans were thy helpers. 10 Yet she also was removed and carried into captivity: her young children were dashed in pieces at the top of every street, and they cast lots upon her nobles, and all her great men were bound in fetters.

8. MSG The Message

   8-13 Do you think you’re superior to Egyptian Thebes,

   proudly invincible on the River Nile,

   Protected by the great River,

   walled in by the River, secure?

   Ethiopia stood guard to the south,

   Egypt to the north.

   Put and Libya, strong friends,

   were ready to step in and help.

   But you know what happened to her:

   The whole city was marched off to a refugee camp,

   Her babies smashed to death

   in public view on the streets,

   Her prize leaders auctioned off,

   her celebrities put in chain gangs.

   Expect the same treatment, Nineveh.

   You’ll soon be staggering like a bunch of drunks,

   Wondering what hit you,

   looking for a place to sleep it off.

   All your forts are like peach trees,

   the lush peaches ripe, ready for the picking.

   One shake of the tree and they fall

   straight into hungry mouths.

   Face it: Your warriors are wimps.

   You’re sitting ducks.

   Your borders are gaping doors, inviting

   your enemies in. And who’s to stop them?
