- 禍哉、這流人血的城、充滿謊詐和強暴搶奪的事總不止息。
- 鞭聲響亮、車輪轟轟、馬匹踢跳、車輛奔騰、
- 馬兵爭先、刀劍發光、槍矛閃爍、被殺的甚多、屍首成了大堆、屍骸無數、人碰著而跌倒、
- 都因那美貌的妓女多有淫行、慣行邪術、藉淫行誘惑列國、用邪術誘惑多族〔誘惑原文作賣〕
- 萬軍之耶和華說、我與你為敵.我必揭起你的衣襟、蒙在你臉上、使列國看見你的赤體、使列邦觀看你的醜陋。

- Woe to the city of blood, full of lies, full of plunder, never without victims!
- The crack of whips, the clatter of wheels, galloping horses and jolting chariots!
- Charging cavalry, flashing swords and glittering spears! Many casualties, piles of dead, bodies without number, people stumbling over the corpses-
- all because of the wanton lust of a harlot, alluring, the mistress of sorceries, who enslaved nations by her prostitution and peoples by her witchcraft.
- "I am against you," declares the LORD Almighty. "I will lift your skirts over your face. I will show the nations your nakedness and the kingdoms your shame.
