And all for the countless whorings of the (A)prostitute,
    (B)graceful and of deadly charms,
who betrays nations with her whorings,
    and peoples with her charms.

(C)Behold, I am against you,
    declares the Lord of hosts,
    and (D)will lift up your skirts over your face;
and I will make nations look at (E)your nakedness
    and kingdoms at your shame.
I will throw filth at you
    and (F)treat you with contempt
    and make you (G)a spectacle.
And all who look at you (H)will shrink from you and say,
“Wasted is (I)Nineveh; (J)who will grieve for her?”
    (K)Where shall I seek comforters for you?
