The Harlot Humiliated

Because of the many fornications of the elegant prostitute,
the mistress of sorceries,
who sells nations by her fornications,
and clans through her sorceries—
Behold, I am against you
—it is a declaration of Adonai-Tzva’ot
I will lift your skirts over your face,
I will show nations your nakedness
    and kingdoms your disgrace.
Yes, I will fling filth on you.
I will treat you with contempt
and set you up as a spectacle.
