10 Yet she became an exile;
she went into captivity.
Her children were also dashed to pieces(A)
at the head of every street.
They cast lots for her dignitaries,(B)
and all her nobles were bound in chains.
11 You[a] also will become drunk;
you will hide.[b]
You also will seek refuge from the enemy.

12 All your fortresses are fig trees
with figs that ripened first;
when shaken, they fall—
right into the mouth of the eater!
