1 W oeH1945 to the bloodyH1818 city!H5892 it is all fullH4392 of liesH3585 and rapine;H6563 the preyH2964 departethH4185 not.
2 The noiseH6963 of the whip,H7752 and the noiseH6963 of the rattlingH7494 of wheels,H212 and prancingH1725 horses,H5483 and boundingH7540 chariots,H4818
3 the horsemanH6571 mounting,H5927 and the flashingH1300 sword,H2719 and the glitteringH1300 spear,H2595 and a multitudeH7230 of slain,H2491 and a greatH3514 heap of corpses,H6297 and there is no endH7097 of the bodies;H6297 they stumbleH3782 upon their bodies;—H1472
4 because of the multitudeH7230 of the whoredomsH2183 of the well-favoredH2896 harlot,H2181 the mistressH1172 of witchcrafts,H3785 that sellethH4376 nationsH1471 through her whoredoms,H2183 and familiesH4940 through her witchcrafts.H3785
5 Behold, I am against thee, saithH5002 JehovahH3068 of hosts,H6635 and I will uncoverH1540 thy skirtsH7757 upon thy face;H6440 and I will showH7200 the nationsH1471 thy nakedness,H4626 and the kingdomsH4467 thy shame.H7036
6 And I will castH7993 abominable filthH8251 upon thee, and make thee vile,H5034 and will setH7760 thee as a gazing-stock.H7210
7 And it shall come to pass, that all they that lookH7200 upon thee shall fleeH5074 from thee, and say,H559 NinevehH5210 is laid waste:H7703 who will bemoanH5110 her? whenceH370 shall I seekH1245 comfortersH5162 for thee?
8 Art thou betterH3190 than No -H4996 amon,H527 that was situateH3427 among the rivers,H2975 that had the watersH4325 round aboutH5439 her; whose rampartH2426 was the sea,H3220 [and] her wallH2346 was of the sea?H3220
9 EthiopiaH3568 and EgyptH4714 were her strength,H6109 and it was infinite;H369 PutH6316 and LubimH3864 were thy helpers.H5833
10 Yet was she carried away,H1473 she wentH1980 into captivity;H7628 her young childrenH5768 also were dashed in piecesH7376 at the headH7218 of all the streets;H2351 and they castH3032 lotsH1486 for her honorable men,H3513 and all her great menH1419 were boundH7576 in chains.H2131
11 Thou also shalt be drunken;H7937 thou shalt be hid;H5956 thou also shalt seekH1245 a strongholdH4581 because of the enemy.H341
12 All thy fortressesH4013 shall be like fig-treesH8384 with the first-ripe figs:H1061 if they be shaken,H5128 they fallH5307 into the mouthH6310 of the eater.H398
13 Behold, thy peopleH5971 in the midstH7130 of thee are women;H802 the gatesH8179 of thy landH776 are set wideH6605 openH6605 unto thine enemies:H341 the fireH784 hath devouredH398 thy bars.H1280
14 DrawH7579 thee waterH4325 for the siege;H4692 strengthenH2388 thy fortresses;H4013 goH935 into the clay,H2916 and treadH7429 the mortar;H2563 make strongH2388 the brickkiln.H4404
15 There shall the fireH784 devourH398 thee; the swordH2719 shall cut thee off;H3772 it shall devourH398 thee like the canker-worm:H3218 make thyself manyH3513 as the canker-worm;H3218 make thyself manyH3513 as the locust.H697
16 Thou hast multipliedH7235 thy merchantsH7402 above the starsH3556 of heaven:H8064 the canker-wormH3218 ravageth,H6584 and fleeth away.H5774
17 Thy princesH4502 are as the locusts,H697 and thy marshalsH2951 as the swarms of grasshoppers,H1462 which encampH2583 in the hedgesH1448 in the coldH7135 day,H3117 but when the sunH8121 arisethH2224 they flee away,H5074 and their placeH4725 is not knownH3045 whereH335 they are.
18 Thy shepherdsH7462 slumber,H5123 O kingH4428 of Assyria;H804 thy noblesH117 are at rest;H7931 thy peopleH5971 are scatteredH6335 upon the mountains,H2022 and there is none to gatherH6908 them.
19 There is no assuagingH3545 of thy hurt:H7667 thy woundH4347 is grievous:H2470 all that hearH8085 the reportH8088 of thee clapH8628 their handsH3709 over thee; for upon whom hath not thy wickednessH7451 passedH5674 continually?H8548
