All this because Nineveh,
the beautiful and faithless city,
mistress of deadly charms,
enticed the nations with her beauty.
She taught them all her magic,
enchanting people everywhere.
“I am your enemy!”
says the Lord of Heaven’s Armies.
“And now I will lift your skirts
and show all the earth your nakedness and shame.
I will cover you with filth
and show the world how vile you really are.

I will let nations look at your nakedness, and kingdoms your shame.
“I will throw filth upon you,
I will treat you with contempt,
I will make you a spectacle.

Because of the multitude of the whoredoms of the wellfavoured harlot,
The mistress of witchcrafts,
That selleth nations through her whoredoms,
And families through her witchcrafts.
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.
