1 Doom to the crime capital!Nineveh, city of murderand treachery,
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.
