“I will throw filth on you
And make you vile and treat you with contempt,
And set you up as a spectacle.

“And it will come about that all who see you
Will shrink back and run from you and say,

Who will grieve for her?’

Which was situated by the waters of the Nile,
With water surrounding her,
Whose defense was the sea (the Nile),
Whose wall consisted of the sea?
