2 here is your fate—cracking whips,churning wheels;galloping horses,roaring chariots;
3 cavalry attacking,swords and spears flashing;soldiers stumblingover piles of dead bodies.
4 You were nothing morethan a prostituteusing your magical charmsand witchcraftto attract and trap nations.
5 But I, the Lord All-Powerful,am now your enemy.I will pull up your skirtand let nations and kingdomsstare at your nakedness.
6 I will cover you with rubbish,treat you like trash,and rub you in the dirt.
7 Everyone who sees youwill turn away and shout,“Nineveh is done for!Is anyone willing to mournor to give her comfort?”
8 Nineveh, do you feel saferthan the city of Thebes?The River Nilewas its wall of defence.
