HO TO NINEVEH Ho to the bloody city! Full of deceptions and tyranny; the prey departs not: 2 The voice of a whip and the voice of the quake of a wheel and of the pransing horses and of the dancing chariots! 3 The horseman ascends both - the flame of the sword and the lightning spear: and there is an abundance of pierced and the heaviness of carcases; and there is no end of their corpses: they falter on their corpses. 4 Because of the multitude of the whoredoms of the whore of good charism, the baalah of sorceries, who sells goyim through her whoredoms, and families through her sorceries. 5 Behold, I am against you - an oracle of Yah Veh Sabaoth and I expose your drapings on your face, and I have the goyim see your nakedness and the sovereigndoms your abasement: 6 and I cast abominations on you and wither you and set you as a spectacle. 7 And so be it, all who see you, flee from you; and say, Nineveh is ravaged: Who wags over her? Where seek I sighers for you? 8 Well-please you more than No Ammon who settles among the rivers surrounded by waters? Whose trench is the sea? And the sea her wall? 9 Kush and Misrayim her might and without end; and Put and Lubiym your helpers. 10 Yet was she is exiled; she goes into captivity: even her sucklings splatter at the top of all the outways: and they handle pebbles for her honorable men and chain all her great in chains. 11 Even you intoxicate; you become concealed: even you seek a stronghold because of the enemy. 12 All your fortresses are fig trees of the firstlings: if you shake, they fall into the mouth of the devourer. 13 Behold, your people among you are women: in opening, the gates of your land open to your enemies: the fire consumes your bars. 14 Bail waters for the siege; strengthen your fortresses: go into mire and tread the morter; strengthen the brickkiln: 15 there the fire consumes you; the sword cuts you off; deviours you as the cankerworm: multiply yourself as the cankerworm; multiply yourself as the locusts. 16 You abound your merchants above the stars of the heavens: the cankerworm spreads and flies. 17 Your princes are as the locusts and your officers as the grubbing grubbers who encamp in the walls in the cold day; and when the sun rises they flee, and the place where they are is not known. 18 Your tenders slumber, O sovereign of Ashshur; your mighty tabernacle: your people scatter on the mountains and no one gathers. 19 There is no healing of your breach; your wound is worn: all who hear your report clap their palms over you: for on whom passes not your evil continually?
