I will throw filthy garbage on you
    and ·make a fool of you [treat you with contempt].
    I will make ·people stare at you [you a spectacle].
Everyone who sees you will ·run away [or turn away in disgust] and say,
    ‘Nineveh is in ruins. Who will ·cry [grieve; lament] for her?’
Nineveh, where will I find anyone to comfort you?”

    who sits by the Nile River
    with water all around her.
The river was her ·defense [rampart];
    the waters were like a wall around her.
