11 Where now is the lions’ den,
the place where they fed their young,

filling his lairs with the kill
and his dens with the prey.

3 Woe to the city of blood,
full of lies,
full of plunder,
never without victims!
2 The crack of whips,
the clatter of wheels,
galloping horses
and jolting chariots!
3 Charging cavalry,
flashing swords
and glittering spears!
Many casualties,
piles of dead,
bodies without number,
people stumbling over the corpses —
full of lies,
full of plunder,
never without victims!
