3:1	Woe to the bloody City, it is all full of lyes and robberie, the pray departeth not.
3:2	The noise of a whip, and the noise of the rattling of the wheeles, and of the praunsing horses, and of the iumping charets.
3:3	The horseman lifteth vp both the bright sword, & the glittering speare, and there is a multitude of slaine, and a great number of carkeises: and there is none ende of their corpses: they stumble vpon their corpses,
3:4	Because of the multitude of the whoredomes of the wel-fauoured harlot, the mistresse of witchcrafts, that selleth nations through her whoredomes, and families through her witchcrafts.
3:5	Behold, I am against thee, saith the Lord of hostes, and I will discouer thy skirtes vpon thy face, and I will shew the nations thy nakednesse, and the kingdomes thy shame.
3:6	And I will cast abominable filth vpon thee, and make thee vile, and will set thee as a gazing stocke.
3:7	And it shall come to passe, that all they that looke vpon thee, shall flee from thee, and say; Nineueh is layde waste, who will bemoane her? whence shall I seeke comforters for thee?
3:8	Art thou better then populous No, that was scituate among the riuers that had the waters round about it, whose rampart was the sea, and her wall was from the sea?
3:9	Ethiopia and Egypt were her strength, and it was infinit, Put and Lubim were thy helpers.
3:10	Yet was she caried away, she went into captiuitie: her yong children also were dashed in pieces at the top of all the streetes: and they cast lots for her honourable men, and all her great men were bound in chaines.
3:11	Thou also shalt be drunken: thou shalt bee hid, thou also shalt seeke strength because of the enemie.
3:12	All thy strong holds shall be like fig trees with the first ripe figs: if they bee shaken, they shall euen fall into the mouth of the eater.
3:13	Beholde, thy people in the midst of thee are women: the gates of thy land shall be set wide open vnto thine enemies, the fire shall deuoure thy barres.
3:14	Draw thee waters for the siege: fortifie thy strong holdes, goe into clay, and tread the morter: make strong the bricke-kill.
3:15	There shall the fire deuoure thee: the sword shall cut thee off: it shall eate thee vp like the cankerworme: make thy selfe many as the cankerworme, make thy selfe many as the locusts.
3:16	Thou hast multiplied thy merchants aboue the starres of heauen; the cankerworme spoileth & flieth away.
3:17	The crowned are as the locusts, and thy captains as the great grashoppers which campe in the hedges in the cold day: but when the Sunne ariseth, they flee away, and their place is not knowen where they are.
3:18	Thy shepheards slumber, O king of Assyria: thy nobles shall dwell in the dust: thy people is scattered vpon the mountaines, & no man gathereth them.
3:19	There is no healing of thy bruise: thy wound is grieuous: all that heare the bruit of thee, shall clap the hands ouer thee; for vpon whom hath not thy wickednesse passed continually?


3:1	O bloody citie, it is all full of lyes, and robberie: the pray departeth not:
3:2	The noyse of a whippe, and the noyse of the mouing of the wheeles, and the beating of the horses, and the leaping of the charets.
3:3	The horseman lifteth vp both the bright sword, and the glittering speare, and a multitude is slaine, and the dead bodyes are many: there is none ende of their corpses: they stumble vpon their corpses,
3:4	Because of the multitude of the fornications of the harlot that is beautifull, and is a mistresse of witchcraft, and selleth the people thorow her whoredome, and the nations thorowe her witchcrafts.
3:5	Beholde, I come vpon thee, saith the Lord of hostes, and will discouer thy skirtes vpon thy face, and will shewe the nations thy filthines, and the kingdomes thy shame.
3:6	And I will cast filth vpon thee, and make thee vile, and will set thee as a gasing stocke.
3:7	And it shall come to passe, that al they that looke vpon thee, shall flee from thee, and say, Nineueh is destroyed, who will haue pitie vpon her? where shall I seeke comforters for thee?
3:8	Art thou better then No, which was ful of people? that lay in the riuers, and had the waters round about it? whose ditche was the sea, and her wall was from the sea?
3:9	Ethiopia and Egypt were her strength, and there was none ende: Put and Lubim were her helpers.
3:10	Yet was she caried awaye, and went into captiuitie: her young children also were dashed in pieces at the head of all the streetes: and they cast lottes for her noble men, and al her myghtie men were bound in chaines.
3:11	Also thou shalt bee drunken: thou shalt hide thy selfe, and shalt seeke helpe because of the enemie.
3:12	All thy strong cities shall be like figtrees with the first ripe figs: for if they be shaken, they fall into the mouth of the eater.

3:16	Thou hast multiplied thy marchantes aboue the starres of heauen: the locust spoileth and flyeth away.
3:17	Thy princes are as the grashoppers, and thy captaines as the great grashoppers which remaine in the hedges in the colde day: but when the sunne ariseth, they flee away and their place is not knowen where they are.
3:18	Thy shepheardes doe sleepe, O King of Asshur: thy strong men lie downe: thy people is scattered vpon the mountaines, and no man gathereth them.
3:19	There is no healing of thy wounde: thy plague is grieuous: all that heare the brute of thee, shall clap the handes ouer thee: for vpon whome hath not thy malice passed continually?


3:1	Wo to the bloudthursty citie, which is all full of lyes & robbery, & wyll not leaue of from rauisshing.

3:3	There the horse men get vp wt naked swerdes, & glysteringe speares: there lyeth a multitude slayne, & a greate heape of deed bodyes: there is no ende of deed coarses: yee, men fall vpon their bodyes,
3:4	And that for the greate and manyfolde whordome, of the fayre & beutyfull harlot: which is a mastresse of witchcraft: yee, and selleth the people thorow her whordome, & the nacyons thorow her witchcraft.

3:8	Art thou better then the greate cite of Alexandria? that laye in the waters, and had the waters rounde aboute it: which was strongly fenced & walled with the see?
3:9	Ethiopia & Egipte were her strength & that exceading great, aboue measure. Aphrica & Lybia were her helpers,
3:10	yet was she dryuen awaye, & brought into captiuite, her yonge chyldren were smitten downe at the head of euery strete, the lottes were cast for the most auncyent men in her, & all her myghtye men were bounde in chaines.
3:11	Euen so shalt thou also be droncken, & hyde thy selfe, and seke some helpe agaynst thyne enemy.
