Horsemen charging,
    flashing sword and glittering spear,
piles of dead,
    heaps of corpses,
dead bodies without end—
    they stumble over the bodies!
Because of the countless debaucheries of the prostitute,
    gracefully alluring, mistress of sorcery,
who enslaves[a] nations through her debaucheries,
    and peoples through her sorcery,
I am against you,
    says the Lord of hosts,
    and will lift up your skirts over your face;
and I will let nations look on your nakedness
    and kingdoms on your shame.

Charging cavalry,
    flashing swords

Many casualties,
    piles of dead,
bodies without number,
    people stumbling over the corpses(A)
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.

“I am against(D) you,” declares the Lord Almighty.
    “I will lift your skirts(E) over your face.
I will show the nations your nakedness(F)
    and the kingdoms your shame.
