8 H3190 [H8686] Art thou better H527 H528 [H8675] than populous H4996 No, H3427 [H8802] that dwelt H2975 among the rivers, H4325 that had the waters H5439 around H2426 it, whose rampart H3220 was the sea, H2346 and her wall H3220 was from the sea?

9 H3568 Cush H4714 and Egypt H6109 were her strength, H369 H7097 and it was infinite; H6316 Put H3864 and Lubim H5833 were thy helpers.

10 H1473 Yet was she carried away, H1980 [H8804] she went H7628 into captivity: H5768 her young children H7376 [H8792] also were dashed in pieces H7218 at the head H2351 of all the streets: H3032 [H8804] and they cast H1486 lots H3513 [H8737] for her honourable men, H1419 and all her great men H7576 [H8795] were bound H2131 in chains.

11 H7937 [H8799] Thou also shalt be drunk: H5956 [H8737] thou shalt be hidden, H1245 [H8762] thou also shalt seek H4581 strength H341 [H8802] because of the enemy.

12 H4013 All thy strong holds H8384 shall be like fig trees H1061 with the firstripe figs: H5128 [H8735] if they be shaken, H5307 [H8804] they shall even fall H6310 into the mouth H398 [H8802] of the eater.

13 H5971 Behold, thy people H7130 in the midst H802 of thee are women: H8179 the gates H776 of thy land H6605 [H8800] shall be set wide H6605 [H8738] open H341 [H8802] to thy enemies: H784 the fire H398 [H8804] shall devour H1280 thy bars.

14 H7579 [H8798] Draw H4325 thee waters H4692 for the siege, H2388 [H8761] fortify H4013 thy strong holds: H935 [H8798] go H2916 into clay, H7429 [H8798] and tread H2563 the morter, H2388 [H8685] make strong H4404 the brickkiln.

15 H784 There shall the fire H398 [H8799] devour H2719 thee; the sword H3772 [H8686] shall cut thee off, H398 [H8799] it shall eat thee up H3218 like the cankerworm: H3513 [H8690] make thyself many H3218 as the cankerworm, H3513 [H8690] make thyself many H697 as the locusts.

16 H7235 [H8689] Thou hast multiplied H7402 [H8802] thy merchants H3556 above the stars H8064 of heaven: H3218 the cankerworm H6584 [H8804] spoileth, H5774 [H8799] and flieth away.

17 H4502 Thy princes H697 are as the locusts, H2951 and thy captains H1462 as the great grasshoppers, H2583 [H8802] which settle H1448 in the hedges H7135 in the cold H3117 day, H8121 but when the sun H2224 [H8804] ariseth H5074 [H8776] they flee away, H4725 and their place H3045 [H8738] is not known H335 where they are.

18 H7462 [H8802] Thy shepherds H5123 [H8804] slumber, H4428 O king H804 of Assyria: H117 thy nobles H7931 [H8799] shall dwell H5971 in the dust: thy people H6335 [H8738] are scattered H2022 upon the mountains, H6908 [H8764] and no man gathereth them.

19 H3545 There is no healing H7667 of thy bruise; H4347 thy wound H2470 [H8737] is grievous: H8085 [H8802] all that hear H8088 the report H8628 [H8804] of thee shall clap H3709 the palms H7451 over thee: for upon whom hath not thy evil H5674 [H8804] passed H8548 continually?
