Naum 3:1-4

LXX

NIV

1 O city of blood, wholly false, full of unrighteousness; the prey shall not be handled.
1 Woe to the city of blood, full of lies, full of plunder, never without victims!
2 The noise of whips, and the noise of the rumbling of wheels, and of the pursuing horse, and of the bounding chariot,
2 The crack of whips, the clatter of wheels, galloping horses and jolting chariots!
3 and of the mounting rider, and of the glittering sword, and of the gleaming arms, and of a multitude of slain, and of heavy falling: and there was no end to her nations, but they shall be weak in their bodies
3 Charging cavalry, flashing swords and glittering spears! Many casualties, piles of dead, bodies without number, people stumbling over the corpses—
4 because of the abundance of fornication: a fair harlot, and well-favoured, skilled in sorcery, that sells the nations by her fornication, and peoples 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.
