5. I now come against you—oracle of the Lord of hosts—and I will lift your skirt above your face;I will show your nakedness to the nations,to the kingdoms your shame!
6. I will cast filth upon you,disgrace you and make you a spectacle;
7. Until everyone who sees youruns from you saying,“Nineveh is destroyed;who can pity her?Where can I findany to console you?”
8. Are you better than No-amon that was set among the Nile’s canals,Surrounded by waters,with the river for her rampartand water for her wall?
9. Ethiopia was her strength,and Egypt without end;Put and the Libyanswere her allies.
10. Yet even she became an exile,and went into captivity;Even her little ones were dashed to piecesat the corner of every street;For her nobles they cast lots,and all her great ones were put into chains.
