III] : to the bloody city!
 * It is all full of lies and robbery;
 * The prey departeth not;
 * The noise of a whip, and the noise of the rattling of the wheels,
 * And of the pransing horses, and of the jumping chariots.
 * The horseman lifteth up both the bright sword and the glittering spear:
 * And there is a multitude of slain, and a great number of carcases;
 * And there is none end of their corpses; they stumble upon their corpses:
 * Because of the multitude of the whoredoms of the wellfavoured harlot,
 * The mistress of witchcrafts,
 * That selleth nations through her whoredoms,
 * And families through her witchcrafts.
 * Behold, I am against thee, saith the Lord of hosts;
 * And I will discover thy skirts upon thy face,
 * And I will shew the nations thy nakedness,
 * And the kingdoms thy shame.
 * And I will cast abominable filth upon thee, and make thee vile,
 * And will set thee as a gazingstock.
 * And it shall come to pass, that all they that look upon thee shall flee from thee, and say,
 * Nineveh is laid waste: who will bemoan her?
