Jeremiah 2:36

36 Why do you go about so much
to change your way?
You shall be put to shame by Egypt
as you were put to shame by Assyria.(A)
Jeremiah 14:2
New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition
2 Judah mourns,
and her gates languish;
they lie in gloom on the ground,
and the cry of Jerusalem goes up.(A)
Nahum 3:8-10
New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition
8 Are you better than Thebes[a]
that sat by the Nile,
with water around her,
her rampart a sea,
water her wall?(A)
9 Cush was her strength,
Egypt, too, and that without limit;
Put and the Libyans were her[b] helpers.(B)
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.(C)
