- 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 bloody city, completely full of lies and pillage; Her prey never departs.
- The noise of the whip, The noise of the rattling of the wheel, Galloping horses And bounding chariots!
- Horsemen charging, Swords flashing, spears gleaming, Many slain, a mass of corpses, And countless dead bodies-- They stumble over the dead bodies!
- 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.
- "Behold, I am against you," declares the LORD of hosts; "And I will lift up your skirts over your face, And show to the nations your nakedness And to the kingdoms your disgrace.
