Ethiopia[a] was her strength,
    Egypt too, and that without limit;
    Put and the Libyans were her[b] helpers.

10 Yet she became an exile,
    she went into captivity;
even her infants were dashed in pieces
    at the head of every street;
lots were cast for her nobles,
    all her dignitaries were bound in fetters.
11 You also will be drunken,
    you will go into hiding;[c]
you will seek
    a refuge from the enemy.
