Nahum 3:1-3

Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition

Ruin Imminent and Inevitable

3 Woe to the bloody city,
all full of lies and booty—
    no end to the plunder!
²The crack of whip, and rumble of wheel,
    galloping horse and bounding chariot!
³Horsemen charging,
    flashing sword and glittering spear,
hosts of slain,
    heaps of corpses,
dead bodies without end—
    they stumble over the bodies!
