Behold, I am against thee, saith the Lord of hosts; and I will discover thy skirts upon thy face, and I will shew the nations thy nakedness, and the kingdoms thy shame.

And I will cast abominable filth upon thee, and make thee vile, and will set thee as a gazingstock.

And it shall come to pass, that all they that look upon thee shall flee from thee, and say, Nineveh is laid waste: who will bemoan her? whence shall I seek comforters for thee?

    “I will lift your skirts(B) over your face.
I will show the nations your nakedness(C)
    and the kingdoms your shame.
I will pelt you with filth,(D)
    I will treat you with contempt(E)
    and make you a spectacle.(F)
All who see you will flee(G) from you and say,
    ‘Nineveh(H) is in ruins(I)—who will mourn for her?’(J)
    Where can I find anyone to comfort(K) you?”
