8 Are you better than aNo‑amon,
Which sits along the bwaters of the Nile,
With water surrounding her,
Whose rampart was the sea,
Whose wall consisted of the sea?
9 aEthiopia was her might,
And Egypt too, without end.
bPut and cLubim were among her helpers.
10 Yet she abecame an exile;
She went into captivity;
Also her binfants were dashed to pieces
cAt the head of every street;
They dcast lots for her honorable men,
And all her great men were bound with fetters.
