Expanded Bible

⁸ You are no better than ·Thebes [^LNo Amon; ^Cmeaning “city of (the god) Amon”; This capital of Upper Egypt, thought to be impregnable, was destroyed by the Assyrians in 663 bc],
    who sits by the Nile River
    with water all around her.
The river was her ·defense [rampart];
    the waters were like a wall around her.
⁹ Cush [^Cancient Ethiopia or Nubia] and Egypt gave her endless strength;
    Put and Libya supported her [^Cneighboring countries allied with Egypt].
