5. “Look! I am against you!” declaresYahweh. “I will strip up your skirts over your face; I will let nations look at your nakedness and your shame.
6. “I will throw filth upon you, I will treat you with contempt, I will make you a spectacle.
7. “And it will be that everyone who sees you will flee from you, And they will say, ‘Nineveh is destroyed!’ Who will mourn for her? From whence shall I seek comforters for you?”
8. Are you better than Thebes? She who sits at the Nile, surrounded by her waters, her rampart was the sea and water was her wall.
