Nineveh Will Not Escape Punishment

Are you better than No-amon,[a] which sits by the streams of the Nile
    with water surrounding her?
        The sea was her defense.
        The water was her wall.
        Sudan and Egypt were her endless strength.
        Put and the Lybians were her help.
10 Even she went into captivity and was exiled.
    Even her little children were smashed to death at every street corner.
    Soldiers tossed dice for her important men,
        and all her best men were bound in chains.
