Art thou better than the populous Alexandria, that dwelleth among the rivers? waters are round about it: the sea is its riches: the waters are its walls. 9Ethiopia and Egypt were the strength thereof, and there is no end: Africa and the Libyans were thy helpers. 10Yet she also was removed and carried into captivity: her young children were dashed in pieces at the top of every street, and they cast lots upon her nobles, and all her great men were bound in fetters. 11Therefore thou also shalt be made drunk, and shalt be despised: and thou shalt seek help from the enemies. 12All thy strong holds shall be like fig trees with their green figs: if they be shaken, they shall fall into the mouth of the eater. 13Behold thy people in the midst of thee are women: the gates of thy land shall be set wide open to thy enemies, the fire shall devour thy bars.
