² The sharp cracking of the whip in the air;
    clattering of wheels on the streets;
Galloping horse hooves;
    clanging, banging chariots;
³ Charging cavalry troops;
    flashing swords and gleaming spears;
Armies of casualties, piles of dead bodies—too many to count—
    so many you can’t walk without stumbling over them!
⁴ This is all because you tempted and lured the nations like a harlot,
    dangling the allure of immorality.
You were a sorceress promising control of the spiritual world,
    enslaving nations to lives of immorality and families to sorcery.
