Punishment for Nineveh / The said:
Doom to the crime capital! Nineveh, city of murder and treachery,
Woe to the bloody city! it is all full of lies and robbery; the prey departeth not;
2 here is your fate— cracking whips, churning wheels; galloping horses, roaring chariots; The noise of a whip, and the noise of the rattling of the wheels, and of the pransing horses, and of the jumping chariots.
3 cavalry attacking, swords and spears flashing; soldiers stumbling over piles of dead bodies. The horseman lifteth up both the bright sword and the glittering spear: and there is a multitude of slain, and a great number of carcases; and there is none end of their corpses; they stumble upon their corpses:
4 You were nothing more than a prostitute using your magical charms and witchcraft to attract and trap nations. 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.
5 But I, the Lord All-Powerful, am now your enemy. I will pull up your skirt and let nations and kingdoms stare at your nakedness. 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.
6 I will cover you with garbage, treat you like trash, and rub you in the dirt. And I will cast abominable filth upon thee, and make thee vile, and will set thee as a gazingstock.
7 Everyone who sees you will turn away and shout, “Nineveh is done for! Is anyone willing to mourn or to give her comfort?” And it shall come to pass, that all they that look upon thee shall flee from thee, and say, Nineveh is laid waste: who will bemoan her? whence shall I seek comforters for thee?

Nineveh's Fate Is Sealed
Nineveh, do you feel safer than the city of Thebes? The Nile River was its wall of defense.
Art thou better than populous No, that was situate among the rivers, that had the waters round about it, whose rampart was the sea, and her wall was from the sea?
9 Thebes trusted the mighty power of Ethiopia and Egypt; the nations of Put and Libya were her allies. Ethiopia and Egypt were her strength, and it was infinite; Put and Lubim were thy helpers.
10 But she was captured and taken to a foreign country. Her children were murdered at every street corner. The members of her royal family were auctioned off, and her high officials were bound in chains. Yet was she carried away, she went into captivity: her young children also were dashed in pieces at the top of all the streets: and they cast lots for her honourable men, and all her great men were bound in chains.
11 Nineveh, now it's your turn! You will get drunk and try to hide from your enemy. Thou also shalt be drunken: thou shalt be hid, thou also shalt seek strength because of the enemy.
12 Your fortresses are fig trees with ripe figs. Merely shake the trees, and fruit will fall into every open mouth. All thy strong holds shall be like fig trees with the firstripe figs: if they be shaken, they shall even fall into the mouth of the eater.
13 Your army is weak. Fire has destroyed the crossbars on your city gates; now they stand wide open to your enemy. Behold, thy people in the midst of thee are women: the gates of thy land shall be set wide open unto thine enemies: the fire shall devour thy bars.
14 Your city is under attack. Haul in extra water! Strengthen your defenses! Start making bricks! Stir the mortar! Draw thee waters for the siege, fortify thy strong holds: go into clay, and tread the morter, make strong the brickkiln.
15 You will still go up in flames and be cut down by swords that will wipe you out like a field attacked by grasshoppers. So, go ahead and increase like a swarm of locusts! There shall the fire devour thee; the sword shall cut thee off, it shall eat thee up like the cankerworm: make thyself many as the cankerworm, make thyself many as the locusts.
16 More merchants are in your city than there are stars in the sky— but they are like locusts that eat everything, then fly away. Thou hast multiplied thy merchants above the stars of heaven: the cankerworm spoileth, and flieth away.
17 Your guards and your officials are swarms of locusts. On a chilly day they settle on a fence, but when the sun comes out, they take off to who-knows-where. Thy crowned are as the locusts, and thy captains as the great grasshoppers, which camp in the hedges in the cold day, but when the sun ariseth they flee away, and their place is not known where they are.
18 King of Assyria, your officials and leaders are sound asleep, while your people are scattered in the mountains. Yes, your people are sheep without a shepherd. Thy shepherds slumber, O king of Assyria: thy nobles shall dwell in the dust: thy people is scattered upon the mountains, and no man gathereth them.
19 You're fatally wounded. There's no hope for you. But everyone claps when they hear this news, because your constant cruelty has caused them pain. There is no healing of thy bruise; thy wound is grievous: all that hear the bruit of thee shall clap the hands over thee: for upon whom hath not thy wickedness passed continually?
