WoeH1945 to the bloodyH1818 cityH5892! it is all fullH4392 of liesH3585 and robberyH6563; the preyH2964 departethH4185 not; {bloody…: Heb. city of bloods}
The noiseH6963 of a whipH7752, and the noiseH6963 of the rattlingH7494 of the wheelsH212, and of the pransingH1725 horsesH5483, and of the jumpingH7540 chariotsH4818.
The horsemanH6571 lifteth upH5927 both the brightH3851 swordH2719 and the glitteringH1300 spearH2595: and there is a multitudeH7230 of slainH2491, and a greatH3514 number of carcasesH6297; and there is none endH7097 of their corpsesH1472; they stumbleH3782+H3782 upon their corpsesH1472: {the bright…: Heb. the flame of the sword, and the lightning of the spear}
Because of the multitudeH7230 of the whoredomsH2183 of the wellfavouredH2896+H2580 harlotH2181, the mistressH1172 of witchcraftsH3785, that sellethH4376 nationsH1471 through her whoredomsH2183, and familiesH4940 through her witchcraftsH3785.
Behold, I am against thee, saithH5002 the LORDH3068 of hostsH6635; and I will discoverH1540 thy skirtsH7757 upon thy faceH6440, and I will shewH7200 the nationsH1471 thy nakednessH4626, and the kingdomsH4467 thy shameH7036.
And I will castH7993 abominable filthH8251 upon thee, and make thee vileH5034, and will setH7760 thee as a gazingstockH7210.
And it shall come to pass, that all they that lookH7200 upon thee shall fleeH5074 from thee, and sayH559, NinevehH5210 is laid wasteH7703: who will bemoanH5110 her? whenceH370 shall I seekH1245 comfortersH5162 for thee?
Art thou betterH3190 than populousH527+H528 NoH4996, that was situateH3427 among the riversH2975, that had the watersH4325 round aboutH5439 it, whose rampartH2426 was the seaH3220, and her wallH2346 was from the seaH3220? {populous…: or, nourishing, etc: Heb. No Amon}
EthiopiaH3568 and EgyptH4714 were her strengthH6109, and it was infiniteH369+H7097; PutH6316 and LubimH3864 were thy helpersH5833. {thy helpers: Heb. in thy help}
Yet was she carried awayH1473, she wentH1980 into captivityH7628: her young childrenH5768 also were dashed in piecesH7376 at the topH7218 of all the streetsH2351: and they castH3032 lotsH1486 for her honourable menH3513, and all her great menH1419 were boundH7576 in chainsH2131.
Thou also shalt be drunkenH7937: thou shalt be hidH5956, thou also shalt seekH1245 strengthH4581 because of the enemyH341.
All thy strong holdsH4013 shall be like fig treesH8384 with the firstripe figsH1061: if they be shakenH5128, they shall even fallH5307 into the mouthH6310 of the eaterH398.
Behold, thy peopleH5971 in the midstH7130 of thee are womenH802: the gatesH8179 of thy landH776 shall be set wideH6605 openH6605 unto thine enemiesH341: the fireH784 shall devourH398 thy barsH1280.
DrawH7579 thee watersH4325 for the siegeH4692, fortifyH2388 thy strong holdsH4013: goH935 into clayH2916, and treadH7429 the morterH2563, make strongH2388 the brickkilnH4404.
There shall the fireH784 devourH398 thee; the swordH2719 shall cut thee offH3772, it shall eat thee upH398 like the cankerwormH3218: make thyself manyH3513 as the cankerwormH3218, make thyself manyH3513 as the locustsH697.
Thou hast multipliedH7235 thy merchantsH7402 above the starsH3556 of heavenH8064: the cankerwormH3218 spoilethH6584, and flieth awayH5774. {spoileth: or, spreadeth himself}
Thy crownedH4502 are as the locustsH697, and thy captainsH2951 as the great grasshoppersH1462, which campH2583 in the hedgesH1448 in the coldH7135 dayH3117, but when the sunH8121 arisethH2224 they flee awayH5074, and their placeH4725 is not knownH3045 whereH335 they are.
Thy shepherdsH7462 slumberH5123, O kingH4428 of AssyriaH804: thy noblesH117 shall dwellH7931 in the dust: thy peopleH5971 is scatteredH6335 upon the mountainsH2022, and no man gatherethH6908 them. {nobles: or, valiant ones}
There is no healingH3545 of thy bruiseH7667; thy woundH4347 is grievousH2470: all that hearH8085 the bruitH8088 of thee shall clapH8628 the handsH3709 over thee: for upon whom hath not thy wickednessH7451 passedH5674 continuallyH8548? {healing: Heb. wrinkling}

And they shall be afraidH2865 and ashamedH954 of EthiopiaH3568 their expectationH4007, and of EgyptH4714 their gloryH8597.
Come upH5927, ye horsesH5483; and rageH1984, ye chariotsH7393; and let the mighty menH1368 come forthH3318; the EthiopiansH3568 and the LibyansH6316, that handleH8610 the shieldH4043; and the LydiansH3866, that handleH8610 and bendH1869 the bowH7198. {the Ethiopians: Heb.

They of PersiaH6539 and of LudH3865 and of PhutH6316 were in thine armyH2428, thy menH582 of warH4421: they hangedH8518 the shieldH4043 and helmetH3553 in thee; they set forthH5414 thy comelinessH1926.
