1. Woe to the bloody city, completely full of lies and pillage; Her prey never departs.
2. The noise of the whip, The noise of the rattling of the wheel, Galloping horses And bounding chariots!
3. Horsemen charging, Swords flashing, spears gleaming, Many slain, a mass of corpses, And countless dead bodies- They stumble over the dead bodies!
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.
