Nahum 3:1-4

1 Doom to Murder City - full of lies, bursting with loot, addicted to violence!
2 Horns blaring, wheels clattering, horses rearing, chariots lurching,
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!
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.
