And (F)show to the nations your nakedness
And to the kingdoms your disgrace.
“I will (G)throw [b]filth on you
And (H)make you vile,
And set you up as a (I)spectacle.
“And it will come about that all who see you
Will [c]shrink from you and say,
‘Nineveh is devastated!
(J)Who will grieve for her?’
Where will I seek comforters for you?”
