1 How terrible it will be for the city which has killed so many.It is full of lies.It is full of stolen things from other countries.It is always hurting or killing somebody.
2 Hear the sound of whips.Listen to the wheels.Hear horses gallopingand chariots bouncing along!
3 Soldiers on horses are charging.Their swords are shining.Their spears are gleaming!There are many bodies.Dead people are piled up.There are too many to count.People fall over the dead bodies.
4 The city was like a prostitute.She was charming and a lover of magic.She made nations slaves with her evil waysand her witchcraft.
5 “I am against you, Nineveh,” says the Lord of heaven’s armies.“I will pull your dress up over your face.I will show the nations your nakedness.And I will show the kingdoms your shame.
