The enemy’s appearance: The shields of the soldiers are red; the warriors are clad in scarlet. They had flashing metal chariots. They look like flaming torches; they dart about like lightning.
The siege and looting of the city: Plunder the silver! Plunder the gold! The supply is endless, the wealth from all its treasures! She is pillaged, plundered, stripped!
The flooding of the city and its results: The river gates are thrown open and the palace collapses.
The fall of Nineveh’s fortresses: All your fortresses are like fig trees with their first ripe fruit; when they are shaken, the figs fall into the mouth of the eater.
The sins for which Nineveh is judged: all because of the wanton lust of a prostitute, alluring, the mistress of sorceries, who enslaved nations by her prostitution and peoples by her witchcraft.
