11WoeH1945 to the bloodyH1818 cityH5892, completelyH3605 fullH4392 of liesH3585 and pillageH6563; Her preyH2964 does not leaveH4185.2The 2soundH6963 of the whipH7752, The soundH6963 of the roarH7494 of the wheelH212, GallopingH1725 horsesH5483 And 3boundingH7540 chariotsH4818!3HorsemenH6571 chargingH5927, SwordsH2719 flashingH3851, 4spearsH2595 gleamingH1300, 5ManyH7230 killedH2491, a massH3514 of corpsesH6297, And thereH369 isH369 6noH369 endH7097 to the deadH1472 bodiesH1472-- They stumbleH3782 over 7the deadH1472 bodiesH1472!4All becauseH4480 of the 8manyH7230 sexualH2183 actsH2183 of the prostituteH2181, The charmingH2580H2896 oneH2896, the 9mistressH1172 of sorceriesH3785, Who 10sellsH4376 nationsH1471 by her sexualH2183 actsH2183, And familiesH4940 by her sorceriesH3785.5“BeholdH2009, 11I am againstH413 you,” declaresH5002 the LordH3068 of armiesH6635; “And I will 1213liftH1540 upH1540 your skirtsH7757 overH5921 your faceH6440, And 14showH7200 the nationsH1471 your nakednessH4626, And the kingdomsH4467 your shameH7036.6I will 15throwH7993 filthH8251 on you And 16declareH5034 you worthlessH5034, And setH7760 you upH7760 as a 17spectacleH7210.7And it will comeH1961 aboutH1961 that allH3605 who seeH7200 you Will 18shrinkH5074 from you and sayH559, ‘NinevehH5210 is devastatedH7703! 19WhoH4310 will haveH5110 sympathyH5110 for her?’ WhereH370 shall I seekH1245 comfortersH5162 for you?”

8AreH3190 you betterH3190 thanH4480 2021No-amonH4996H528, Which was situatedH3427 by the 22canalsH2975 ofH2975 theH2975 NileH2975, With waterH4325 surroundingH5439 her, WhoseH834 rampartH2426 was 23the seaH3220, Whose wallH2346 consisted of 24the seaH3220?925EthiopiaH3568 was her mightH6109, EgyptH4714 too, withoutH369 limitsH7097. 26PutH6316 and 27LubimH3864 were among 28her helpersH5833.10YetH1571 she 29became an exileH1473, She wentH1980 into captivityH7628; AlsoH1571 her 30small childrenH5768 were smashedH7376 toH7376 piecesH7376 31At the headH7218 of everyH3605 streetH2351; They 32castH3032 lotsH1486 for her honorableH3513 menH3513, And allH3605 her greatH1419 menH1419 were boundH7576 with shacklesH2203.11You tooH1571 will becomeH7937 33drunkH7937, You will be 34hiddenH5956. You tooH1571 will searchH1245 for a refugeH4581 from the enemyH340.12AllH3605 your fortificationsH4013 are 35figH8384 treesH8384 with 3637ripeH1061 fruitH1061-- WhenH518 shakenH5128, they fallH5307 into the eater’sH398 mouthH6310.13BeholdH2009, your peopleH5971 are 38womenH802 in your midstH7130! The gatesH8179 of your landH776 are 39openedH6605 wideH6605 to your enemiesH340; FireH784 consumesH398 your gate barsH1280.1440DrawH7579 for yourself waterH4325 for a siegeH4692! 41StrengthenH2388 your fortificationsH4013! GoH935 into the clayH2916 and treadH7429 the mortarH2563! TakeH2388 holdH2388 of the brickH4404 moldH4404!15ThereH8033 42fireH784 will consumeH398 you, The swordH2719 will cutH3772 you downH3772; It will 43consumeH398 you as the creepingH3218 locustH3218 consumes a crop. MultiplyH3513 yourself like the creepingH3218 locustH3218, MultiplyH3513 yourself like the migratoryH697 locustH697.16You have madeH7235 your 44tradersH7402 moreH4480 numerousH7235 thanH4480 the starsH3556 of heavenH8064-- The creepingH3218 locustH3218 shedsH6584 its skinH6584 and fliesH5774 away.17Your 45courtiersH4502 are like the migratoryH697 locustH697. Your 46officialsH2951 are like a swarmH1462 ofH1462 locustsH1462 SettlingH2583 in the stoneH1448 sheltersH1448 on a coldH7135 dayH3117. The sunH8121 risesH2224 and they fleeH5074, And the placeH4725 whereH335 they are is not knownH3045.18Your shepherdsH7462 are 47sleepingH5123, O 48kingH4428 of AssyriaH804; Your 49officersH117 are lyingH7931 downH7931. Your peopleH5971 are 50scatteredH6335 on the mountainsH2022 And thereH369 isH369 noH369 oneH369 to gatherH6908 them.19ThereH369 isH369 51noH369 reliefH3545 for your collapseH7667, Your 52woundH4347 is incurableH2470. AllH3605 who hearH8085 53aboutH8088 you Will 54clapH8628 their handsH3709 overH5921 you, For uponH5921 whomH4310 has your evilH7463 not comeH5674 continuallyH8548?
