Soldiers on horses are attacking,
    their swords are shining,
    their spears are gleaming!
There are many dead people.
    Dead bodies are piled up—too many bodies to count.
    People are tripping over the dead bodies.
All this happened because of Nineveh.
    Nineveh is like a prostitute who could never get enough.
    She wanted more and more.
She sold herself to many nations,
    and she used her magic to make them her slaves.

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.
