1 WOE to the bloody city! it is all full of lies and iniquity; the plunder in it cannot be estimated. 2 The noise of the whip and the noise of rattling of the wheels and of the snorting of horses and of bounding chariots! 3 The horseman driving, with the flash of the sword and the glittering spear! And there is a multitude of slain, and a great number of corpses; there is no end to corpses; they stumble over their corpses. 4 Because of the multitude of the whoredoms of the harlot that was beautiful and mistress of witchcrafts, who brings up nations through her whoredoms and tribes through her witchcraft, 5 Behold, I am against you, says the LORD of hosts; and I will raise your skirts over your face and will show the nations your nakedness and the kingdoms your shame. 6 And I will cast filth upon you and disgrace you, and will make you a spectacle, 7 And it shall come to pass that all who look upon you shall abhor you and say, Nineveh is plundered; who will bemoan her? Whence shall I seek a comforter for you? Nahum 3:1-7, Lamsa Bible. Public domain.
