1. Woe to the bloody city! it is all full of lies and robberies; the prey departeth not;
2. The noise of a whip, and the noise of the rattling of the wheels, and of the prancing horses, and of the bounding 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 carcasses; and there is no end of their corpses; they stumble upon their corpses:
4. Because of the multitude of the lewd deeds of the well-favored harlot, the mistress of witchcrafts, that selleth nations through her lewd deeds, and families through her witchcrafts.
