1 Woe to the bloody city!It is full of liesand plunder.The prey never departs.
2 The noise of the whipand the noise of the rattling of the wheels,galloping horses,and rushing chariots!
3 Horsemen chargingwith flashing swordand glittering spear.Multitude of slain,great number of corpses,dead bodies without end—they stumble on the corpses—
4 because of the countless harlotries of the seductive harlot,the mistress of sorceries,who sells nations through her harlotriesand families through her sorceries.
5 I am against you, says the Lord of Hosts;I will lift your skirts over your face,and I will show the nations your nakedness,and the kingdoms your shame.
6 I will throw filth on you,and make you vile,and make you a spectacle.
