Nahum 3:1-4

MSG

NIV

1 Doom to Murder City - full of lies, bursting with loot, addicted to violence!
1 Woe to the city of blood, full of lies, full of plunder, never without victims!
2 Horns blaring, wheels clattering, horses rearing, chariots lurching,
2 The crack of whips, the clatter of wheels, galloping horses and jolting chariots!
3 Horsemen galloping, brandishing swords and spears, Dead bodies rotting in the street, corpses stacked like cordwood, Bodies in every gutter and alley, clogging every intersection!
3 Charging cavalry, flashing swords and glittering spears! Many casualties, piles of dead, bodies without number, people stumbling over the corpses—
4 And whores! Whores without end! Whore City, Fatally seductive, you're the Witch of Seduction, luring nations to their ruin with your evil spells.
4 all because of the wanton lust of a prostitute, alluring, the mistress of sorceries, who enslaved nations by her prostitution and peoples by her witchcraft.
