Nahum 3:5-7
Easy-to-Read Version
5 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.
6 I will throw dirty things on you
and treat you in a hateful way.
People will look at you and laugh.
7 Everyone who sees you will be shocked.
They will say, ‘Nineveh is destroyed.
Who will cry for her?’
I know I cannot find anyone to comfort you, Nineveh.”
