Charging cavalry troops;
    flashing swords and gleaming spears;
Armies of casualties, piles of dead bodies—too many to count—
    so many you can’t walk without stumbling over them!
This is all because you tempted and lured the nations like a harlot,
    dangling the allure of immorality.
You were a sorceress promising control of the spiritual world,
    enslaving nations to lives of immorality and families to sorcery.

Nineveh is laid waste as God watches.

Eternal One: Look at Me and My armies.
        I stand against you, Nineveh!
    I will treat you like the harlot you are, lifting your dress over your face—
        peeling back your outward façade
    And exposing your true condition, your nakedness underneath.
        You will be humiliated and ashamed in front of the world.
