5. “Behold, I am against you,” says the Lord of hosts;“I will lift your skirts over your face,I will show the nations your nakedness,And the kingdoms your shame.
6. I will cast abominable filth upon you,Make you vile,And make you a spectacle.
7. It shall come to pass that all who look upon youWill flee from you, and say,‘Nineveh is laid waste!Who will bemoan her?’Where shall I seek comforters for you?”
8. Are you better than No AmonThat was situated by the River,That had the waters around her,Whose rampart was the sea,Whose wall was the sea?
9. Ethiopia and Egypt were her strength,And it was boundless;Put and Lubim were your helpers.
