aWill flee from you, and say,
b‘Nineveh is laid waste!
cWho will bemoan her?’
Where shall I seek comforters for you?”
That was situated by the1 River,
That had the waters around her,
Whose rampart was the sea,
Whose wall was the sea?
She went into captivity;
aHer young children also were dashed to pieces
bAt the head of every street;
They ccast lots for her honorable men,
And all her great men were bound in chains.
