1 Woe to the bloody city,all full of lies and plunder— no end to the prey!
2 The crack of the whip, and rumble of the wheel, galloping horse and bounding chariot!
3 Horsemen charging,flashing sword and glittering spear, hosts of slain,heaps of corpses,dead bodies without end—they stumble over the bodies!
4 And all for the countless whorings of the prostitute, graceful and of deadly charms,who betrays nations with her whorings,and peoples with her charms.
5 Behold, I am against you,declares the Lord of hosts,and will lift up your skirts over your face;and I will make nations look at your nakednessand kingdoms at your shame.
6 I will throw filth at youand treat you with contemptand make you a spectacle.
