⁶ I will throw disgusting things at you;
        I will treat you with contempt and make you a spectacle.
⁷ Then all who look at you will recoil from you and say,
        “Nineveh has been devastated!
        Who will lament for her?”
        Where could I possibly seek comforters for you?
⁸     Are you better than Thebes,
        situated by the Nile, waters surrounding her,
        whose fortress is sea and whose city wall is waters?
