Ah!  City of bloodshed,
utterly deceitful , full of *****  --
no end to the plunder!
The  crack of whip and rumble of wheel,
galloping horse and bounding chariot!
Horsemen  charging , flashing sword and glittering spear,
piles of dead, heaps of corpses,
dead bodies without end  ---  they stumble over the bodies!
Because of the countless debaucheries of the *******,
gracefully alluring , mistress of  sorcery, who enslaves ! nations
through her debaucheries, and peoples through her sorcery,
I am against you,says the Lord of hosts,
and will lift up your skirts over your face;
and I will let nations look on your nakedness.
and kingdoms on your shame.
I will  throw filth at you and treat you with contempt,
and make you a spectacle.
Then all who see you will shrink from you and say,
"Nineveh is devastated, who will bemoan her?"
Where shall I seek  comforters for you?
