Ethiopia and Egypt were her strength,
    and that strength was boundless;
    Put and the Lybians were her allies.
10 Nevertheless, even she became an exile
    and went into captivity.
Even her infants were dashed to pieces
    at every street corner.
Lots were cast for her nobles,
    and all her leaders were put in chains.
11 You, too, will become drunk
    and go into hiding.
You, too, will flee,
    seeking a refuge from the enemy.
