34:003:001 Woe to the bloody city! it is all full
of lies and robbery;
the
prey departeth not;
34:003:002 The noise of a whip, and the noise of the
rattling of the
wheels,
and of the pransing horses, and of the jumping
chariots.
34:003:003 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:
34:003:004 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.
34:003:005 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.
34:003:006 And I will cast abominable filth upon thee,
and make thee
vile,
and will set thee as a gazingstock.
34:003:007 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?
34:003:008 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?
34:003:009 Ethiopia and Egypt were her strength, and
it was infinite; Put
and
Lubim were thy helpers.
34:003:010 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.
34:003:011 Thou also shalt be drunken: thou shalt
be hid, thou also shalt
seek
strength because of the enemy.
34:003:012 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.
34:003:013 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.
34:003:014 Draw thee waters for the siege, fortify
thy strong holds: go
into
clay, and tread the morter, make strong the brickkiln.
34:003:015 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.
34:003:016 Thou hast multiplied thy merchants above
the stars of heaven:
the
cankerworm spoileth, and fleeth away.
