Are you better than Thebes[a]
    that sat by the Nile,
with water around her,
    her rampart a sea,
    water her wall?
Ethiopia[b] was her strength,
    Egypt too, and that without limit;
    Put and the Libyans were her[c] helpers.

    she went into captivity;
even her infants were dashed in pieces
    at the head of every street;
lots were cast for her nobles,
    all her dignitaries were bound in fetters.
