Woe
to the bloody
city!
it is all full
of lies
and robbery;
the prey
departeth
not;
The noise
of a whip,
and the noise
of the rattling
of the wheels,
and of the pransing
horses,
and of the jumping
chariots.
The horseman
lifteth up
both the bright
sword
and the glittering
spear:
and there is a multitude
of slain,
and a great
number of carcases;
and there is none end
of their corpses;
they stumble
upon their corpses:
wounded one
τραυματιῶν
traumatiōn
Because of the multitude
of the whoredoms
of the wellfavoured
harlot,
the mistress
of witchcrafts,
that selleth
nations
through her whoredoms,
and families
through her witchcrafts.

Behold, I am against thee, saith
the LORD
of hosts;
and I will discover
thy skirts
upon thy face,
and I will shew
the nations
thy nakedness,
and the kingdoms
thy shame.
And I will cast
abominable filth
upon thee, and make thee vile,
and will set
thee as a gazingstock.
And it shall come to pass, that all they that look
upon thee shall flee
from thee, and say,
Nineveh
is laid waste:
who will bemoan
her? whence
shall I seek
comforters
for thee?

No,

Ethiopia
and Egypt
were her strength,
and it was infinite;
Put
and Lubim
were thy helpers.
Yet was she carried away,
she went
into captivity:
her young children
also were dashed in pieces
at the top
of all the streets:
and they cast
lots
for her honourable men,
and all her great men
were bound
in chains.

Thou also shalt be drunken:
thou shalt be hid,
thou also shalt seek
strength
because of the enemy.
All thy strong holds
shall be like fig trees
with the firstripe figs:
if they be shaken,
they shall even fall
into the mouth
of the eater.
Behold, thy people
in the midst
of thee are women:
the gates
of thy land
shall be set wide
open
unto thine enemies:
the fire
shall devour
thy bars.
Draw
thee waters
for the siege,
fortify
thy strong holds:
go
into clay,
and tread
the morter,
make strong

There shall the fire
devour
thee; the sword
shall cut thee off,
it shall eat thee up
like the cankerworm:
make thyself many
as the cankerworm,
make thyself many
as the locusts.
Thou hast multiplied
thy merchants
above the stars
of heaven:
the cankerworm
spoileth,
and flieth away.
Thy crowned
are as the locusts,
and thy captains
as the great grasshoppers,
which camp
in the hedges
in the cold
day,
but when the sun
ariseth
they flee away,
and their place
is not known
where
they are.
