It Will Be Terrible for Nineveh

How terrible it will be for the city which has killed so many.
    It is full of lies.
It is full of stolen things from other countries.
    It is always hurting or killing somebody.
Hear the sound of whips.
    Listen to the wheels.
Hear horses galloping
    and chariots bouncing along!
Soldiers on horses are charging.
    Their swords are shining.
    Their spears are gleaming!
There are many bodies.
    Dead people are piled up.
There are too many to count.
    People fall over the dead bodies.

    and glittering spears!
Many casualties,
    piles of dead,
bodies without number,
    people stumbling over the corpses(C)
