- 1 Woe to the bloody city! It is all full of lies and robbery. Its prey never departs.
- 2 The noise of a whip, the noise of rattling of the wheels, of the galloping horses, of jumping chariots.
- 3 The horsemen lift up with the bright sword and glittering spear. There is a multitude of slain, a great number of bodies, there is no end of their corpses, they stumble over their corpses.
- 4 Because of the multitude of harlotries of the well favored harlot, the mistress of witchcraft, who sells nations through her harlotries, and families through her witchcraft.
- 5 “Behold, I am against you,” says the LORD of hosts; and “I will lift your skirts over your face, I will show the nations your nakedness, and the kingdoms your shame.
- 6 And I will cast abominable filth upon you, make you vile, and will make you become a spectacle.
- 7 It shall come to pass that all those who look upon you will flee from you, and say, ‘Nineveh is laid waste. Who shall bemoan her?’ Where shall I seek comforters for you?”
- 8 Are you better than populous No, that was situated among the rivers, that had the waters around it, whose rampart was the sea, and her wall was from the sea?
- 9 Ethiopia and Egypt were her strength, and it was infinite; Put and Lubim were your helpers.
- 10 Yet she was carried away, she went into captivity; her young children also were dashed into pieces at the top of every street; they cast lots for her honorable men, and all her great men were bound in chains.
- 11 You also will be drunk; you will be hidden; you also will seek strength because of the enemy.
- 12 All your strongholds will be like fig trees with first ripened figs: if they are shaken, they will fall into the mouth of the eater.
- 13 Behold, your people in your midst are women. The gates of your land will be set wide open for your enemies; fire will devour your bars.
- 14 Draw your water for the siege, fortify your strongholds; go into the clay and tread the mortar, make the brick kiln strong.
