  2. 8Art thou better than No-amon, that was situate among the rivers, that had the waters round about her; whose rampart was the sea, and her wall was of the sea?
  3. 9Ethiopia and Egypt were her strength, and it was infinite; Put and Lubim were thy helpers.

  5. 11Thou also shalt be drunken; thou shalt be hid; thou also shalt seek a stronghold because of the enemy.
