Oracle of Judgment against the King of Nineveh

1:14 The Lord has issued a decree against you: 6 

“Your dynasty will come to an end. 7 

I will destroy the idols and images in the temples of your gods.

I will desecrate 8  your grave – because you are accursed! 9 

3:5 for God knows that when you eat from it your eyes will open 1  and you will be like divine beings who know 2  good and evil.” 3
