| [1]WoeH1945 to the bloodyH1818 cityH5892! it is all fullH4392 of liesH3585 and robberyH6563; the preyH2964 departethH4185 notH8686; |
[1]O bloody city, it is all full of lies, and robbery: the prey departeth not: |
| [2]The noiseH6963 of a whipH7752, and the noiseH6963 of the rattlingH7494 of the wheelsH212, and of the pransingH1725[H8802] horsesH5483, and of the jumpingH7540[H8764] chariotsH4818. |
[2]The noise of a whip, and the noise of the moving of the wheels, and the beating of the horses, and the leaping of the chariots. |
| [3]The horsemanH6571 lifteth upH5927[H8688] both the brightH3851 swordH2719 and the glitteringH1300 spearH2595: and there is a multitudeH7230 of slainH2491, and a greatH3514 number of carcasesH6297; and there is none endH7097 of their corpsesH1472; they stumbleH3782[H8804][H8675][H3782][H8735] upon their corpsesH1472: |
[3]The horseman lifteth up both the bright sword, and the glittering spear, and a multitude is slain, and the dead bodies are many: there is none end of their corpses: they stumble upon their corpses, |
| [4]Because of the multitudeH7230 of the whoredomsH2183 of the wellfavouredH2896[H2580] harlotH2181[H8802], the mistressH1172 of witchcraftsH3785, that sellethH4376[H8802] nationsH1471 through her whoredomsH2183, and familiesH4940 through her witchcraftsH3785. |
[4]Because of the multitude of the fornications of the harlot that is beautiful, and is a mistress of witchcraft, and selleth the people through her whoredom, and the nations through her witchcrafts. |
| [5]Behold, I am against thee, saithH5002[H8803] the LORDH3068 of hostsH6635; and I will discoverH1540[H8765] thy skirtsH7757 upon thy faceH6440, and I will shewH7200[H8689] the nationsH1471 thy nakednessH4626, and the kingdomsH4467 thy shameH7036. |
[5]Behold, I come upon thee, saith the Lord of hosts, and will discover thy skirts upon thy face, and will show the nations thy filthiness, and the kingdoms thy shame. |
| [6]And I will castH7993[H8689] abominable filthH8251 upon thee, and make thee vileH5034[H8765], and will setH7760[H8804] thee as a gazingstockH7210. |
[6]And I will cast filth upon thee, and make thee vile, and will set thee as a gazing stock. |
| [7]And it shall come to pass, that all they that lookH7200[H8802] upon thee shall fleeH5074[H8799] from thee, and sayH559[H8804], NinevehH5210 is laid wasteH7703[H8795]: who will bemoanH5110[H8799] her? whenceH370 shall I seekH1245[H8762] comfortersH5162 for theeH8764? |
[7]And it shall come to pass, that all they that look upon thee, shall flee from thee, and say, Nineveh is destroyed, who will have pity upon her? Where shall I seek comforters for thee? |
| [8]Art thou betterH3190[H8686] than populousH527[H8675][H528] NoH4996, that was situateH3427[H8802] among the riversH2975, that had the watersH4325 round aboutH5439 it, whose rampartH2426 was the seaH3220, and her wallH2346 was from the seaH3220? |
[8]Art thou better than No, which was full of people? That lay in the rivers, and had the waters round about it? Whose ditch was the sea, and her wall was from the sea? |
| [9]EthiopiaH3568 and EgyptH4714 were her strengthH6109, and it was infiniteH369[H7097]; PutH6316 and LubimH3864 were thy helpersH5833. |
[9]Ethiopia and Egypt were her strength, and there was none end: Put and Lubim were her helpers. |
| [10]Yet was she carried awayH1473, she wentH1980[H8804] into captivityH7628: her young childrenH5768 also were dashed in piecesH7376[H8792] at the topH7218 of all the streetsH2351: and they castH3032[H8804] lotsH1486 for her honourable menH3513[H8737], and all her great menH1419 were boundH7576[H8795] in chainsH2131. |
[10]Yet was she carried away, and went into captivity: her young children also were dashed in pieces at the head of all the streets: and they cast lots for her noble men, and all her mighty men were bound in chains. |
| [11]Thou also shalt be drunkenH7937[H8799]: thou shalt be hidH5956[H8737], thou also shalt seekH1245[H8762] strengthH4581 because of the enemyH341.[H8802] |
[11]Also thou shalt be drunken: thou shalt hide thyself, and shalt seek help because of the enemy. |
| [12]All thy strong holdsH4013 shall be like fig treesH8384 with the firstripe figsH1061: if they be shakenH5128[H8735], they shall even fallH5307[H8804] into the mouthH6310 of the eaterH398.[H8802] |
[12]All thy strong cities shall be like fig trees with the first ripe figs: for if they be shaken, they fall into the mouth of the eater. |
| [13]Behold, thy peopleH5971 in the midstH7130 of thee are womenH802: the gatesH8179 of thy landH776 shall be set wideH6605[H8800] openH6605[H8738] unto thine enemiesH341[H8802]: the fireH784 shall devourH398[H8804] thy barsH1280. |
[13]Behold, thy people within thee are women: the gates of thy land shall be opened unto thine enemies, and the fire shall devour thy bars. |
| [14]DrawH7579[H8798] thee watersH4325 for the siegeH4692, fortifyH2388[H8761] thy strong holdsH4013: goH935[H8798] into clayH2916, and treadH7429[H8798] the morterH2563, make strongH2388[H8685] the brickkilnH4404. |
[14]Draw thee waters for the siege: fortify thy strong holds: go into the clay, and temper the mortar: make strong brick. |
| [15]There shall the fireH784 devourH398[H8799] thee; the swordH2719 shall cut thee offH3772[H8686], it shall eat thee upH398[H8799] like the cankerwormH3218: make thyself manyH3513[H8690] as the cankerwormH3218, make thyself manyH3513[H8690] as the locustsH697. |
[15]There shall the fire devour thee: the sword shall cut thee off: it shall eat thee up like the locusts, though thou be multiplied like the locusts, and multiplied like the grasshopper. |
| [16]Thou hast multipliedH7235[H8689] thy merchantsH7402[H8802] above the starsH3556 of heavenH8064: the cankerwormH3218 spoilethH6584[H8804], and flieth awayH5774.[H8799] |
[16]Thou hast multiplied thy merchants above the stars of heaven: the locust spoileth and flyeth away. |
| [17]Thy crownedH4502 are as the locustsH697, and thy captainsH2951 as the great grasshoppersH1462, which campH2583[H8802] in the hedgesH1448 in the coldH7135 dayH3117, but when the sunH8121 arisethH2224[H8804] they flee awayH5074[H8776], and their placeH4725 is not knownH3045[H8738] where they areH335. |
[17]Thy princes are as the grasshoppers, and thy captains as the great grasshoppers which remain 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 shepherdsH7462[H8802] slumberH5123[H8804], O kingH4428 of AssyriaH804: thy noblesH117 shall dwellH7931[H8799] in the dust: thy peopleH5971 is scatteredH6335[H8738] upon the mountainsH2022, and no man gatherethH6908 themH8764. |
[18]Thy shepherds do sleep, O king of Assyria: thy strong men lie down: thy people is scattered upon the mountains, and no man gathereth them. |
| [19]There is no healingH3545 of thy bruiseH7667; thy woundH4347 is grievousH2470[H8737]: all that hearH8085[H8802] the bruitH8088 of thee shall clapH8628[H8804] the handsH3709 over thee: for upon whom hath not thy wickednessH7451 passedH5674[H8804] continuallyH8548? |
[19]There is no healing of thy wound: thy plague is grievous: all that hear the brute of thee, shall clap the hands over thee: for upon whom hath not thy malice passed continually? |
