1 Woe to the city of bloodshed, completely full of deception and pillage; Her prey never departs. 2 The sound of the whip, And the sound of the rumbling of the wheel, Galloping horses, And bounding chariots! 3 Horsemen charging, And swords flaming, and spears flashing, Many slain, a mass of corpses, And there is no end to dead bodies— They stumble over the dead bodies! 4 All because of the many harlotries of the harlot, The charming one, the mistress of sorceries, Who sells nations by her harlotries And families by her sorceries. 5 “Behold, I am against you,” declares Yahweh of hosts; “And I will uncover your skirts over your face And show to the nations your nakedness And to the kingdoms your disgrace. 6 I will throw detestable filth on you And display you as a wicked fool And set you up as a spectacle.
