The Lord All-Powerful says,
“I am against you, Nineveh.
    I will pull your dress[a] up over your face.
I will let the nations see your naked body.
    The kingdoms will see your shame.
I will throw dirty things on you
    and treat you in a hateful way.
    People will look at you and laugh.
Everyone who sees you will be shocked.
    They will say, ‘Nineveh is destroyed.
    Who will cry for her?’
I know I cannot find anyone to comfort you, Nineveh.”
