NAHUM 3
Woe to the bloody City! it is all full of lies and rapine; the prey departeth not. The noise of the whip, and the noise of the rattling of wheels, and prancing horses, and bounding chariots, the horseman mounting, and the flashing sword, and the glittering spear, and a multitude of slain, and a great heap of corpses, and there is no end of the bodies; they stumble upon their bodies;— because of the multitude of the whoredoms of the well-favored harlot, the mistress of witchcrafts, that selleth nations through her whoredoms, and families through her witchcrafts.
Behold, I am against thee, says the Creator of hosts, and I will uncover your skirts upon your face; and I will show the Nations your nakedness, and the kingdoms your shame.
I will cast abominable filth upon you, and make you vile, and will set you as a gazing-stock. And it shall come to pass, that all they that look upon you shall flee from you, and say, Nineveh (Babylon The Great) is laid waste: who will bemoan her? whence shall I seek comforters for thee?
