In Context

8Art thou better than No-amon, who sat among the Nile-streams, waters round about her,—whose fortress was the sea, from the sea, her wall.

10Yet, she, was given up to exile, she went into captivity, even her babes, were dashed to the ground, at the head of all the streets,—and, for her honourable men, cast they lots, and, all her great men, were bound together in chains.
