1  Woe¹⁹⁴⁵ to the bloody¹⁸¹⁸ city!⁵⁸⁹² it is all³⁶⁰⁵ full⁴³⁹² of lies³⁵⁸⁵ and robbery;⁶⁵⁶³ the prey²⁹⁶⁴ departeth⁴¹⁸⁵ not;³⁸⁰⁸

2  The noise⁶⁹⁶³ of a whip,⁷⁷⁵² and the noise⁶⁹⁶³ of the rattling⁷⁴⁹⁴ of the wheels,²¹² and of the prancing¹⁷²⁵ horses,⁵⁴⁸³ and of the jumping⁷⁵⁴⁰ chariots.⁴⁸¹⁸

3  The horseman⁶⁵⁷¹ lifteth up⁵⁹²⁷ both the bright³⁸⁵¹ sword²⁷¹⁹ and the glittering¹³⁰⁰ spear:²⁵⁹⁵ and there is a multitude⁷²³⁰ of slain,²⁴⁹¹ and a great number³⁵¹⁴ of carcasses;⁶²⁹⁷ and there is none³⁶⁹ end⁷⁰⁹⁷ of their corpses;¹⁴⁷² they stumble³⁷⁸² upon their corpses:¹⁴⁷²

4  Because of the multitude^{4480 7230} of the whoredoms²¹⁸³ of the well favored^{2896 2580} harlot,²¹⁸¹ the mistress¹¹⁷² of witchcrafts,³⁷⁸⁵ that selleth⁴³⁷⁶ nations¹⁴⁷¹ through her whoredoms,²¹⁸³ and families⁴⁹⁴⁰ through her witchcrafts.³⁷⁸⁵

5  Behold,²⁰⁰⁹ I am against⁴¹³ thee, saith⁵⁰⁰² the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ of hosts;⁶⁶³⁵ and I will discover¹⁵⁴⁰ thy skirts⁷⁷⁵⁷ upon⁵⁹²¹ thy face,⁶⁴⁴⁰ and I will show⁷²⁰⁰ the nations¹⁴⁷¹ thy nakedness,⁴⁶²⁶ and the kingdoms⁴⁴⁶⁷ thy shame.⁷⁰³⁶

6  And I will cast⁷⁹⁹³ abominable filth⁸²⁵¹ upon⁵⁹²¹ thee, and make thee vile,⁵⁰³⁴ and will set⁷⁷⁶⁰ thee as a gazingstock.⁷²¹⁰

7  And it shall come to pass,¹⁹⁶¹ that all³⁶⁰⁵ they that look upon⁷²⁰⁰ thee shall flee⁵⁰⁷⁴ from⁴⁴⁸⁰ thee, and say,⁵⁵⁹ Nineveh⁵²¹⁰ is laid waste:⁷⁷⁰³ who⁴³¹⁰ will bemoan⁵¹¹⁰ her? whence^{4480 370} shall I seek¹²⁴⁵ comforters⁵¹⁶² for thee?

8  Art thou better³¹⁹⁰ than populous⁵²⁸ No,^{4480 4996} that was situate³⁴²⁷ among the rivers,²⁹⁷⁵ that had the waters⁴³²⁵ round about⁵⁴³⁹ it, whose⁸³⁴ rampart²⁴²⁶ was the sea,³²²⁰ and her wall²³⁴⁶ was from the sea?^{4480 3220}

9  Ethiopia³⁵⁶⁸ and Egypt⁴⁷¹⁴ were her strength,⁶¹⁰⁹ and it was infinite;^{369 7097} Put⁶³¹⁶ and Lubim³⁸⁶⁴ were¹⁹⁶¹ thy helpers.⁵⁸³³

10  Yet¹⁵⁷¹ was she¹⁹³¹ carried away,¹⁴⁷³ she went¹⁹⁸⁰ into captivity:⁷⁶²⁸ her young children⁵⁷⁶⁸ also¹⁵⁷¹ were dashed in pieces⁷³⁷⁶ at the top⁷²¹⁸ of all³⁶⁰⁵ the streets:²³⁵¹ and they cast³⁰³² lots¹⁴⁸⁶ for⁵⁹²¹ her honorable men,³⁵¹³ and all³⁶⁰⁵ her great men¹⁴¹⁹ were bound⁷⁵⁷⁶ in chains.²¹³¹

11  Thou⁸⁵⁹ also¹⁵⁷¹ shalt be drunken:⁷⁹³⁷ thou shalt be¹⁹⁶¹ hid,⁵⁹⁵⁶ thou⁸⁵⁹ also¹⁵⁷¹ shalt seek¹²⁴⁵ strength⁴⁵⁸¹ because of the enemy.^{4480 341}

12  All³⁶⁰⁵ thy strongholds⁴⁰¹³ shall be like fig trees⁸³⁸⁴ with⁵⁹⁷³ the firstripe figs:¹⁰⁶¹ if⁵¹⁸ they be shaken,⁵¹²⁸ they shall even fall⁵³⁰⁷ into⁵⁹²¹ the mouth⁶³¹⁰ of the eater.³⁹⁸

13  Behold,²⁰⁰⁹ thy people⁵⁹⁷¹ in the midst⁷¹³⁰ of thee are women:⁸⁰² the gates⁸¹⁷⁹ of thy land⁷⁷⁶ shall be set wide open^{6605 6605} unto thine enemies:³⁴¹ the fire⁷⁸⁴ shall devour³⁹⁸ thy bars.¹²⁸⁰

14  Draw⁷⁵⁷⁹ thee waters⁴³²⁵ for the siege,⁴⁶⁹² fortify²³⁸⁸ thy strongholds:⁴⁰¹³ go⁹³⁵ into clay,²⁹¹⁶ and tread⁷⁴²⁹ the mortar,²⁵⁶³ make strong²³⁸⁸ the brickkiln.⁴⁴⁰⁴

15  There⁸⁰³³ shall the fire⁷⁸⁴ devour³⁹⁸ thee; the sword²⁷¹⁹ shall cut thee off,³⁷⁷² it shall eat thee up³⁹⁸ like the cankerworm:³²¹⁸ make thyself many³⁵¹³ as the cankerworm,³²¹⁸ make thyself many³⁵¹³ as the locusts.⁶⁹⁷

16  Thou hast multiplied⁷²³⁵ thy merchants⁷⁴⁰² above the stars^{4480 3556} of heaven:⁸⁰⁶⁴ the cankerworm³²¹⁸ spoileth,⁶⁵⁸⁴ and flieth away.⁵⁷⁷⁴

17  Thy crowned⁴⁵⁰² are as the locusts,⁶⁹⁷ and thy captains²⁹⁵¹ as the great grasshoppers,^{1462 1462} which camp²⁵⁸³ in the hedges¹⁴⁴⁸ in the cold⁷¹³⁵ day,³¹¹⁷ but when the sun⁸¹²¹ ariseth²²²⁴ they flee away,⁵⁰⁷⁴ and their place⁴⁷²⁵ is not known^{3045 3808} where³³⁵ they are.

18  Thy shepherds⁷⁴⁶² slumber,⁵¹²³ O king⁴⁴²⁸ of Assyria:⁸⁰⁴ thy nobles¹¹⁷ shall dwell⁷⁹³¹ in the dust: thy people⁵⁹⁷¹ is scattered⁶³³⁵ upon⁵⁹²¹ the mountains,²⁰²² and no man³⁶⁹ gathereth⁶⁹⁰⁸ them.

19  There is no³⁶⁹ healing³⁵⁴⁵ of thy bruise;⁷⁶⁶⁷ thy wound⁴³⁴⁷ is grievous:²⁴⁷⁰ all³⁶⁰⁵ that hear⁸⁰⁸⁵ the bruit⁸⁰⁸⁸ of thee shall clap⁸⁶²⁸ the hands³⁷⁰⁹ over⁵⁹²¹ thee: for³⁵⁸⁸ upon⁵⁹²¹ whom⁴³¹⁰ hath not³⁸⁰⁸ thy wickedness⁷⁴⁵¹ passed⁵⁶⁷⁴ continually?⁸⁵⁴⁸

1 ὦ πόλις αἱμάτων ὅλη ψευδὴς ἀδικίας πλήρης οὐ ψηλαφηθήσεται θήρα

2 φωνὴ μαστίγων καὶ φωνὴ σεισμοῦ τροχῶν καὶ ἵππου διώκοντος καὶ ἅρματος ἀναβράσσοντος

3 καὶ ἱππέως ἀναβαίνοντος καὶ στιλβούσης ῥομφαίας καὶ ἐξαστραπτόντων ὅπλων καὶ πλήθους τραυματιῶν καὶ βαρείας πτώσεως καὶ οὐκ ἦν πέρας τοῖς ἔθνεσιν αὐτῆς καὶ ἀσθενήσουσιν ἐν τοῖς σώμασιν αὐτῶν

4 ἀπὸ πλήθους πορνείας πόρνη καλὴ καὶ ἐπιχαρὴς ἡγουμένη φαρμάκων ἡ πωλοῦσα ἔθνη ἐν τῇ πορνείᾳ αὐτῆς καὶ φυλὰς ἐν τοῖς φαρμάκοις αὐτῆς

5 ἰδοῦ ἐγὼ ἐπὶ σέ λέγει κύριος ὁ θεὸς ὁ παντοκράτωρ καὶ ἀποκαλύψω τὰ ὀπίσω σου ἐπὶ τὸ πρόσωπόν σου καὶ δείξω ἔθνεσιν τὴν αἰσχύνην σου καὶ βασιλείαις τὴν ἀτιμίαν σου

6 καὶ ἐπιρρίψω ἐπὶ σὲ βδελυγμὸν κατὰ τὰς ἀκαθαρσίας σου καὶ θήσομαί σε εἰς παράδειγμα

7 καὶ ἔσται πᾶς ὁ ὁρῶν σε ἀποπηδήσεται ἀπὸ σοῦ καὶ ἐρεῖ Δειλαία Νινευη τίς στενάξει αὐτήν πόθεν ζητήσω παράκλησιν αὐτῇ

8 ἑτοίμασαι μερίδα ἅρμοσαι χορδήν ἑτοίμασαι μερίδα Αμων ἡ κατοικοῦσα ἐν ποταμοῖς ὕδωρ κύκλῳ αὐτῆς ἧς ἡ ἀρχὴ θάλασσα καὶ ὕδωρ τὰ τείχη αὐτῆς

9 καὶ Αἰθιοπία ἡ ἰσχὺς αὐτῆς καὶ Αἴγυπτος καὶ οὐκ ἔστιν πέρας τῆς φυγῆς καὶ Λίβυες ἐγένοντο βοηθοὶ αὐτῆς

10 καὶ αὐτὴ εἰς μετοικεσίαν πορεύσεται αἰχμάλωτος καὶ τὰ νήπια αὐτῆς ἐδαφιοῦσιν ἐπ᾽ ἀρχὰς πασῶν τῶν ὁδῶν αὐτῆς καὶ ἐπὶ πάντα τὰ ἔνδοξα αὐτῆς βαλοῦσιν κλήρους καὶ πάντες οἱ μεγιστᾶνες αὐτῆς δεθήσονται χειροπέδαις

11 καὶ σὺ μεθυσθήσῃ καὶ ἔσῃ ὑπερεωραμένη καὶ σὺ ζητήσεις σεαυτῇ στάσιν ἐξ ἐχθρῶν

12 πάντα τὰ ὀχυρώματά σου συκαῖ σκοποὺς ἔχουσαι ἐὰν σαλευθῶσιν καὶ πεσοῦνται εἰς στόμα ἔσθοντος

13 ἰδοὺ ὁ λαός σου ὡς γυναῖκες ἐν σοί τοῖς ἐχθροῖς σου ἀνοιγόμεναι ἀνοιχθήσονται πύλαι τῆς γῆς σου καὶ καταφάγεται πῦρ τοὺς μοχλούς σου

14 ὕδωρ περιοχῆς ἐπίσπασαι σεαυτῇ καὶ κατακράτησον τῶν ὀχυρωμάτων σου ἔμβηθι εἰς πηλὸν καὶ συμπατήθητι ἐν ἀχύροις κατακράτησον ὑπὲρ πλίνθον

15 ἐκεῖ καταφάγεταί σε πῦρ ἐξολεθρεύσει σε ῥομφαία καταφάγεταί σε ὡς ἀκρίς καὶ βαρυνθήσῃ ὡς βροῦχος

16 ἐπλήθυνας τὰς ἐμπορίας σου ὑπὲρ τὰ ἄστρα τοῦ οὐρανοῦ βροῦχος ὥρμησεν καὶ ἐξεπετάσθη

17 ἐξήλατο ὡς ἀττέλεβος ὁ σύμμικτός σου ὡς ἀκρὶς ἐπιβεβηκυῖα ἐπὶ φραγμὸν ἐν ἡμέραις πάγους ὁ ἥλιος ἀνέτειλεν καὶ ἀφήλατο καὶ οὐκ ἔγνω τὸν τόπον αὐτῆς οὐαὶ αὐτοῖς

18 ἐνύσταξαν οἱ ποιμένες σου βασιλεὺς Ἀσσύριος ἐκοίμισεν τοὺς δυνάστας σου ἀπῆρεν ὁ λαός σου ἐπὶ τὰ ὄρη καὶ οὐκ ἦν ὁ ἐκδεχόμενος

19 οὐκ ἔστιν ἴασις τῇ συντριβῇ σου ἐφλέγμανεν ἡ πληγή σου πάντες οἱ ἀκούοντες τὴν ἀγγελίαν σου κροτήσουσιν χεῖρας ἐπὶ σέ διότι ἐπὶ τίνα οὐκ ἐπῆλθεν ἡ κακία σου διὰ παντός

1 [Væ civitas sanguinum,
universa mendacii dilaceratione plena!
non recedet a te rapina.

2 Vox flagelli, et vox impetus rotæ, et equi frementis,
et quadrigæ ferventis, et equitis ascendentis,

3 et micantis gladii, et fulgurantis hastæ,
et multitudinis interfectæ, et gravis ruinæ;
nec est finis cadaverum,
et corruent in corporibus suis.

4 Propter multitudinem fornicationum meretricis
speciosæ, et gratæ, et habentis maleficia,
quæ vendidit gentes in fornicationibus suis,
et familias in maleficiis suis.

5 Ecce ego ad te, dicit Dominus exercituum,
et revelabo pudenda tua in facie tua;
et ostendam gentibus nuditatem tuam,
et regnis ignominiam tuam.

6 Et projiciam super te abominationes,
et contumeliis te afficiam,
et ponam te in exemplum.

7 Et erit: omnis qui viderit te resiliet a te,
et dicet: Vastata est Ninive.
Quis commovebit super te caput?
unde quæram consolatorem tibi?

8 Numquid melior es Alexandria populorum,
quæ habitat in fluminibus?
aquæ in circuitu ejus;
cujus divitiæ, mare;
aquæ, muri ejus.

9 Æthiopia fortitudo ejus, et Ægyptus, et non est finis;
Africa et Libyes fuerunt in auxilio tuo.

10 Sed et ipsa in transmigrationem ducta est in captivitatem:
parvuli ejus elisi sunt in capite omnium viarum,
et super inclytos ejus miserunt sortem,
et omnes optimates ejus confixi sunt in compedibus.

11 Et tu ergo inebriaberis, et eris despecta:
et tu quæres auxilium ab inimico.

12 Omnes munitiones tuæ sicut ficus cum grossis suis:
si concussæ fuerint, cadent in os comedentis.

13 Ecce populus tuus mulieres in medio tui:
inimicis tuis adapertione pandentur portæ terræ tuæ,
devorabit ignis vectes tuos.

14 Aquam propter obsidionem hauri tibi:
exstrue munitiones tuas,
intra in lutum, et calca,
subigens tene laterem.

15 Ibi comedet te ignis,
peribis gladio, devorabit te ut bruchus:
congregare ut bruchus,
multiplicare ut locusta.

16 Plures fecisti negotiationes tuas quam stellæ sint cæli;
bruchus expansus est, et avolavit.

17 Custodes tui quasi locustæ,
et parvuli tui quasi locustæ locustarum,
quæ considunt in sepibus in die frigoris:
sol ortus est, et avolaverunt,
et non est cognitus locus earum ubi fuerint.

18 Dormitaverunt pastores tui, rex Assur,
sepelientur principes tui:
latitavit populus tuus in montibus,
et non est qui congreget.

19 Non est obscura contritio tua;
pessima est plaga tua.
Omnes qui audierunt auditionem tuam compresserunt manum super te:
quia super quem non transiit malitia tua semper?]
