1	Woe to the bloody city! it is all full of lies and robbery; the prey departeth# not; [bloody...: Heb. city of bloods]
			2	The noise of a whip, and the noise of the rattling of the wheels, and of the pransing# horses, and of the jumping# chariots.
			3	The horseman lifteth up# both the bright sword and the glittering spear: and there is a multitude of slain, and a great number of carcases; and there is none end of their corpses; they stumble# # # # upon their corpses: [the bright...: Heb. the flame of the sword, and the lightning of the spear]
			4	Because of the multitude of the whoredoms of the wellfavoured# harlot# , the mistress of witchcrafts, that selleth# nations through her whoredoms, and families through her witchcrafts.
			5	Behold, I am against thee, saith# the LORD of hosts; and I will discover# thy skirts upon thy face, and I will shew# the nations thy nakedness, and the kingdoms thy shame.
			6	And I will cast# abominable filth upon thee, and make thee vile# , and will set# thee as a gazingstock.
			7	And it shall come to pass, that all they that look# upon thee shall flee# from thee, and say# , Nineveh is laid waste# : who will bemoan# her? whence shall I seek# comforters# for thee?
			8	Art thou better# than populous# # No, that was situate# among the rivers, that had the waters round about it, whose rampart was the sea, and her wall was from the sea? [populous...: or, nourishing, etc: Heb. No Amon]
			9	Ethiopia and Egypt were her strength, and it was infinite# ; Put and Lubim were thy helpers. [thy helpers: Heb. in thy help]
			10	Yet was she carried away, she went# into captivity: her young children also were dashed in pieces# at the top of all the streets: and they cast# lots for her honourable men# , and all her great men were bound# in chains.
			11	Thou also shalt be drunken# : thou shalt be hid# , thou also shalt seek# strength because of the enemy# .
			12	All thy strong holds shall be like fig trees with the firstripe figs: if they be shaken# , they shall even fall# into the mouth of the eater# .
			13	Behold, thy people in the midst of thee are women: the gates of thy land shall be set wide# open# unto thine enemies# : the fire shall devour# thy bars.
			14	Draw# thee waters for the siege, fortify# thy strong holds: go# into clay, and tread# the morter, make strong# the brickkiln.
			15	There shall the fire devour# thee; the sword shall cut thee off# , it shall eat thee up# like the cankerworm: make thyself many# as the cankerworm, make thyself many# as the locusts.
			16	Thou hast multiplied# thy merchants# above the stars of heaven: the cankerworm spoileth# , and flieth away# . [spoileth: or, spreadeth himself]
			17	Thy crowned are as the locusts, and thy captains as the great grasshoppers, which camp# in the hedges in the cold day, but when the sun ariseth# they flee away# , and their place is not known# where they are .
			18	Thy shepherds# slumber# , O king of Assyria: thy nobles shall dwell# in the dust : thy people is scattered# upon the mountains, and no man gathereth# them . [nobles: or, valiant ones]
			19	There is no healing of thy bruise; thy wound is grievous# : all that hear# the bruit of thee shall clap# the hands over thee: for upon whom hath not thy wickedness passed# continually? [healing: Heb. wrinkling]
