10 But Thebes was captured anyway.
    Its people were taken away as prisoners.
Its babies were smashed to pieces
    at every street corner.
The Assyrian soldiers cast lots

    and made slaves out of them.

    that have their first ripe fruit on them.
When the trees are shaken,
    the figs fall into the mouths
    of those who eat them.
