    Put and Libya supported her [C neighboring countries allied with Egypt].
10 But Thebes was captured
    and went into ·captivity [exile].
Her ·small children [infants] were ·beaten to death [dashed to pieces]
    at every street corner.
Lots were thrown for her ·important men [nobles; C parceled out as slaves],
    and all of her ·leaders [great ones] were put in chains.

11 You [C Nineveh] will be drunk, too.
    You will hide;
    you will ·look for a place safe [seek refuge] from the enemy.
