Nineveh’s Punishment for Sin

How horrible it will be for that city of bloody violence!
It is completely full of lies and stolen goods—never without victims.
The sound of the whip!
The sound of rattling wheels!

Chariots bounce along!
Horses charge!
Swords flash!
Spears glitter!
Many are killed!
Dead bodies pile up!
There is no end to the corpses!
People trip over corpses
