1. Woe to the bloody city!It is full of liesand plunder.The prey never departs.
2. The noise of the whipand the noise of the rattling of the wheels,galloping horses,and rushing chariots!
3. Horsemen chargingwith flashing swordand glittering spear.Multitude of slain,great number of corpses,dead bodies without end—they stumble on the corpses—
4. because of the countless harlotries of the seductive harlot,the mistress of sorceries,who sells nations through her harlotriesand families through her sorceries.
