Nahum 3:3-5
1599 Geneva Bible
3 The horseman lifteth up both the bright sword, and the glittering spear, and a multitude is slain, and the dead bodies are many: there is none end of their corpses: they stumble upon their corpses,
4 Because of the multitude of the fornications of the [a]harlot that is beautiful, and is a mistress of witchcraft, and selleth the people through her whoredom, and the nations through her witchcrafts.
5 Behold, I come upon thee, saith the Lord of hosts, and will discover thy skirts upon thy face, and will show the nations thy filthiness, and the kingdoms thy shame.

Nahum 3:3-5
New International Version
3 Charging cavalry,
flashing swords
and glittering spears!
Many casualties,
piles of dead,
bodies without number,
people stumbling over the corpses(A)—
4 all because of the wanton lust of a prostitute,
alluring, the mistress of sorceries,(B)
who enslaved nations by her prostitution(C)
and peoples by her witchcraft.
