Context
Taunt against the Harlot City
3:4 “Because you have acted like a wanton prostitute – a seductive mistress who practices sorcery , who enslaves nations by her harlotry , and entices peoples by her sorcery –
3:5 I am against you,” declares the Lord who commands armies . “I will strip off your clothes ! I will show your nakedness to the nations and your shame to the kingdoms ;
3:6 I will pelt you with filth ; I will treat you with contempt ; I will make you a public spectacle .
3:7 Everyone who sees you will turn away from you in disgust; they will say , ‘Nineveh has been devastated ! Who will lament for her?’ There will be no one to comfort you!”
