Woe to the †abloody city!

It is all full of lies and robbery;

bThe prey departeth not;

2  The noise of a whip, and cthe noise of the rattling of the wheels,

And of the dpransing horses, and of the ejumping chariots.

3  The horseman lifteth up both †the bright sword and fthe glittering spear:

And gthere is a multitude of slain, and a great number of carcases;

And there is none end of their corpses; they stumble upon their corpses:

4  Because of the multitude of the whoredoms of the wellfavoured hharlot,

iThe kmistress of lwitchcrafts,

That selleth nations through hher whoredoms,

And families through her lwitchcrafts.

5  mBehold, I am against thee, saith the Lord of hosts;

And nI will discover thy skirts upon thy face,

And noI will shew the nations thy nakedness,

And the kingdoms opthy shame.

6  And ppI will cast abominable filth upon thee, and qmake thee vile,

And will set thee as ra gazingstock.

7  And it shall come to pass, that all they that rlook upon thee sshall flee from thee, and say,

tNineveh is laid waste: uwho will bemoan her?

vWhence shall I seek comforters for thee?
