³ The cavalry attacks—
    the flashing sword
        and the glittering spear!
Many are the slain—
    so many casualties!—
No end to bodies,
    and the soldiers^[a] trip over the corpses.
⁴ Innumerable are the harlotries of this well-favored whore,
    this mistress of witchcraft,
who enslaves nations through her fornication
    and families through her sorcery.

⁵ “Look, I am against you,” declares the Lord of the Heavenly Armies,
    “so I will pull up your dress over your face.
I will show your nakedness to the nations,
    and your disgrace to the kingdoms.
