New American Standard Bible NAS
New International Version NIV
1 Woe to the bloody city, completely full of lies and pillage; Her prey never departs.
1
Woe to the city of blood, full of lies, full of plunder, never without victims!
2 The noise of the whip, The noise of the rattling of the wheel, Galloping horses And bounding chariots!
2
The crack of whips, the clatter of wheels, galloping horses and jolting chariots!
3 Horsemen charging, Swords flashing, spears gleaming, Many slain, a mass of corpses, And countless dead bodies - They stumble over the dead bodies!
3
Charging cavalry, flashing swords and glittering spears! Many casualties, piles of dead, bodies without number, people stumbling over the corpses—
4 All because of the many harlotries of the harlot, The charming one, the mistress of sorceries, Who sells nations by her harlotries And families by her sorceries.
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.
