\q
\v 1 Woe to the city full of blood!
\q It is all full of lies and stolen property; victims are always in her.
\q
2016-11-04 21:12:37 +00:00
\v 2 But now there is the noise of whips and the sound of rattling wheels,
2016-04-01 21:07:38 +00:00
\q prancing horses, and bounding chariots.
\s5
\q
2016-11-04 21:12:37 +00:00
\v 3 There are attacking horsemen,
\q flashing swords, glittering spears,
\q heaps of corpses, great piles of bodies.
2016-04-01 21:07:38 +00:00
\q There is no end to the bodies; their attackers stumble over them.
\q
2016-11-04 21:12:37 +00:00
\v 4 This is happening because of the lustful actions of the beautiful prostitute, the expert in witchcraft,
2016-04-01 21:07:38 +00:00
\q who sells nations through her prostitution, and peoples through her acts of witchcraft.
\s5
\q
2016-11-04 21:12:37 +00:00
\v 5 "See, I am against you—this is the declaration of Yahweh of hosts—I will raise up your skirt over your face
2016-04-01 21:07:38 +00:00
\q and show your private parts to the nations, your shame to the kingdoms.
\q
\v 6 I will throw disgusting filth on you and make you vile; I will make you someone that everyone will look at.
\q
2016-11-04 21:12:37 +00:00
\v 7 It will come about that everyone who looks at you will flee from you and say,
\q 'Nineveh is destroyed; who will weep for her?'
2016-04-01 21:07:38 +00:00
\q Where can I find anyone to comfort you?"
\s5
\q
2016-11-04 21:12:37 +00:00
\v 8 Nineveh, are you better than Thebes, that was built on the Nile River, that had water around her,
2016-04-01 21:07:38 +00:00
\q whose defense was the ocean, whose wall was the sea itself?
\q
2016-11-04 21:12:37 +00:00
\v 9 Ethiopia and Egypt were her strength, and there was no end to it;
2016-04-01 21:07:38 +00:00
\q Put and Libya were allies to her.
\s5
\q
2016-11-04 21:12:37 +00:00
\v 10 Yet Thebes was carried away; she went into captivity;
2016-04-01 21:07:38 +00:00
\q her young children were dashed in pieces at the head of every street;
2016-11-04 21:12:37 +00:00
\q her enemies threw lots for her honorable men,
2016-04-01 21:07:38 +00:00
\q and all her great men were bound in chains.
\q
2016-11-04 21:12:37 +00:00
\v 11 You also will become drunk; you will try to hide,
2016-04-01 21:07:38 +00:00
\q and you will also look for a refuge from your enemy.
\s5
\q
2016-11-04 21:12:37 +00:00
\v 12 All your fortresses will be like fig trees with the earliest ripe figs:
2016-04-01 21:07:38 +00:00
\q if they are shaken, they fall into the mouth of the eater.
\q
2016-11-04 21:12:37 +00:00
\v 13 See, the people among you are women;
\q the gates of your land have been opened wide to your enemies;
2016-04-01 21:07:38 +00:00
\q fire has devoured their bars.
\s5
\q
2016-11-04 21:12:37 +00:00
\v 14 Go draw water for the siege; strengthen your fortresses;
\q go into the clay and tread the mortar;
2016-04-01 21:07:38 +00:00
\q pick up the molds for the bricks.
\q
2016-11-04 21:12:37 +00:00
\v 15 Fire will devour you there, and the sword will destroy you. It will devour you as young locusts devour everything.
2016-04-01 21:07:38 +00:00
\p
\q Make yourselves as many as the young locusts, as many as the full-grown locusts.
\s5
\q
\v 16 You have multiplied your merchants more than the stars in the heavens; but they are like young locusts: they plunder the land and then fly away.
\q
2016-11-04 21:12:37 +00:00
\v 17 Your princes are as many as the full-grown locusts, and your generals are like swarms of them
2016-04-01 21:07:38 +00:00
\q that camp in the walls on a cold day.
\q But when the sun rises they fly away to no one knows where.
\s5
\q
2016-11-15 22:23:31 +00:00
\v 18 King of Assyria, your shepherds are asleep; your rulers are lying down resting.
2016-04-01 21:07:38 +00:00
\q Your people are scattered on the mountains, and there is no one to gather them.
\q
2016-11-04 21:12:37 +00:00
\v 19 No healing is possible for your wounds. Your wounds are severe.
\q Everyone who hears the news about you will clap their hands in joy over you.
2016-04-01 21:07:38 +00:00
\q Who has escaped your constant wickedness?
