I am against you, Nineveh, declares Jehovah of Hosts. I will lift up your dress over your face. I will show nations your naked body and kingdoms your disgrace. I will treat you with contempt and cover you with filth. People will stare at you in horror. And it will come about that all who see you will go in flight from you and say, Nineveh is devastated: who will weep for her? Where will I get comforters for her?
