Taunt against the Harlot City“Because you have acted like a wanton prostitute– a seductive mistress who practices sorcery, who enslaves nations by her harlotry, and entices peoples by her sorcery–
I am against you,” declares the LORD of Heaven’s Armies.“I will strip off your clothes! I will show your nakedness to the nations and your shame to the kingdoms;
I will pelt you with filth; I will treat you with contempt; I will make you a public spectacle.
Everyone who sees you will turn away from you in disgust; they will say,‘Nineveh has been devastated! Who will lament for her?’ There will be no one to comfort you!”
Nineveh Will Suffer the Same Fate as Thebes You are no more secure than Thebes– she was located on the banks of the Nile; the waters surrounded her, her rampart was the sea, the water was her wall.
Cush and Egypt had limitless strength; Put and the Libyans were among her allies.
Yet she went into captivity as an exile; even her infants were smashed to pieces at the head of every street. They cast lots for her nobility; all her dignitaries were bound with chains.
