Everyone who sees you will run away and say,
    ‘Nineveh is in ruins. Who will cry for her?’
    Nineveh, where will I find anyone to comfort you?”

You are no better than Thebes,[a]

    the waters were like a wall around her.
Cush and Egypt gave her endless strength;
    Put and Libya supported her.
