It Will Be Terrible for Nineveh

How terrible it will be for the city that has killed so many.
    It is full of lies
and goods stolen from other countries.
    It is always killing somebody.
Hear the sound of whips
    and the noise of the wheels.
Hear horses galloping
    and chariots bouncing along!
Horses are charging,
    swords are shining,
    spears are gleaming!
Many are dead;
    their bodies are piled up—
too many to count.
    People stumble over the dead bodies.

    and glittering spears!

    piles of dead,
bodies without number,
    people stumbling over the corpses(C)
