All because of the (A)many sexual acts of the prostitute,
The charming one, the (B)mistress of sorceries,
Who (C)sells nations by her sexual acts,
And families by her sorceries.
“Behold, (D)I am against you,” declares the Lord of armies;
“And I will [a](E)lift up your skirts over your face,
And (F)show the nations your nakedness,
And the kingdoms your shame.
I will (G)throw filth on you
And (H)declare you worthless,
And set you up as a (I)spectacle.
And it will come about that all who see you
Will [b]shrink from you and say,
‘Nineveh is devastated!
(J)Who will have sympathy for her?’
Where shall I seek comforters for you?”
