aThe mistress of sorceries,
Who sells nations through her harlotries,
And families through her sorceries.
b“I will lift your skirts over your face,
I will show the nations your nakedness,
And the kingdoms your shame.
aWill flee from you, and say,
b‘Nineveh is laid waste!
cWho will bemoan her?’
Where shall I seek comforters for you?”
That was situated by the1 River,
That had the waters around her,
Whose rampart was the sea,
Whose wall was the sea?

Nahum 3:6
I will cast abominable filth upon thee - I will set thee as a gazing-stock. This was a punishment precisely like our pillory. They put such women in the pillory as a gazing-stock; and then, children and others threw mud, dirt, and filth of all kinds at them.
