Woe
to the bloody
city !
it
is all full
of
lies and
robbery;

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 sound
of a whip, And the sound
of the rattling of a
wheel
, And of a
prancing
horse
, and of a
bounding
chariot,
Of
a
horseman
mounting
.
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:
And
the flame
of
a
sword ,
and the lightning
of
a
spear ,
And the
abundance
of the
wounded
, And the
weight
of carcases ,
Yea,
there is no
end to
the
bodies,
They stumble over
their bodies.
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.
Because of the abundance
of the fornications
of an
harlot, The goodness
of the
grace
of
the
lady
of
witchcrafts, Who
is
selling
nations by
her fornications
, And families by
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 .
Lo
, I `
am '
against thee, An
affirmation
of Jehovah
of
Hosts ,
And have
removed
thy skirts before
thy face, And have
shewed
nations thy nakedness, And kingdoms thy shame ,
And I will
cast abominable
filth
upon thee, and make
thee vile
, and will
set
thee as a gazingstock
.
And I have
cast upon thee abominations
, And dishonoured
thee, and made
thee as a sight
.
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?
And it hath
come to pass, Each
of
thy
beholders
fleeth
from thee, And hath
said
: `Spoiled
is
Nineveh,
Who doth
bemoan for
her? '
Whence do
I seek comforters for thee?
Art thou better than populous
No, that was
situate
among the
rivers,
that
had
the
waters round about it
, whose rampart
was
the sea, and
her wall was
from
the
sea?
Art thou better than No -Ammon
, That is
dwelling
among brooks?
Waters she
hath
round about her
, Whose bulwark
`is'
the sea, waters
her wall .
Ethiopia
and Egypt were
her
strength
, and it
was
infinite;
Put and Lubim were
thy helpers
.
Cush
her
might,
and Egypt, and there
is
no
end.
Put and Lubim have
been
for
thy help
.
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
.
Even
she doth
become
an
exile
, She hath
gone
into captivity ,
Even
her sucklings
are
dashed to
pieces At the top of all out-places,
And for her honoured
ones
they
cast
a
lot
, And all her great ones
have
been
bound in fetters
.
Thou also
shalt
be
drunken :
thou shalt
be
hid
, thou also
shalt
seek strength
because of the
enemy.
Even
thou art
drunken ,
thou art
hidden
, Even
thou dost
seek a
strong
place,
because of an
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.
All thy fortresses
`are'
fig -
trees with first-fruits,
If they are
shaken, They have
fallen
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.
Lo
, thy people `
are '
women in
thy
midst,
To
thine
enemies
thoroughly
opened
Have
been
the gates of thy land ,
Consumed
hath
fire thy bars.
Draw
thee
waters for
the
siege, fortify
thy strong
holds:
go
into clay
, and tread the
morter
, make strong the
brickkiln
.
Waters of
a
siege draw
for
thyself
, Strengthen
thy fortresses,
Enter
into mire
, and tread on
clay
, Make strong a
brick-kiln
.
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
.
There consume
thee doth
a
fire,
Cut thee off doth
a
sword
, It doth
consume
thee as
a
cankerworm !
Make thyself heavy
as the cankerworm, Make thyself heavy
as the locust
.
Thou
hast
multiplied
thy merchants above the stars of heaven:
the cankerworm spoileth
, and fleeth
away.
Multiply
thy merchants above the stars of the heavens,
The
cankerworm hath
stripped
off
, and doth
flee
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.
Thy crowned ones
`
are '
as a
locust
, And thy princes
as great grasshoppers, That
encamp
in hedges in a
day of
cold
, The sun hath
risen,
and
it
doth
flee away, And not known is
its
place
where they are.
Thy shepherds
slumber
, O
king of Assyria:
thy
nobles
shall
dwell
in
the
dust:
thy people is
scattered
upon
the mountains, and no
man
gathereth
them
.
Slumbered
have
thy friends
, king of Asshur,
Rest
do
thine
honourable
ones,
Scattered
have
been
thy people on
the mountains, And there
is
none
gathering
.
There is no healing
of thy bruise;
thy
wound
is
grievous :
all that
hear
the
bruit
of
thee
shall
clap
the hands
over
thee :
for upon
whom hath
not thy wickedness passed
continually?
There is no weakening
of thy destruction,
Grievous `is'
thy
smiting,
All hearing
thy
fame
have
clapped
the hand
at
thee ,
For over
whom did
not thy wickedness pass
continually?
