3 People will see you naked.People will see your shame.I will take revenge.I won’t spare anyone.
4 Our defender is the Holy One of Israel.His name is the Lord of Armies.
5 Go into the dark, and sit in silence,princess of the Babylonians!You will no longer be called the queen of kingdoms.
6 I was angry with my people.I dishonored those who belong to me.I put them under your control.You showed them no mercy.You placed a heavy burden on old people.
7 You said, “I will always be a queen.”You didn’t carefully consider these thingsor keep in mind how they would end.
8 Now then, listen to this, you lover of pleasure.You live securely and say to yourself,“I’m the only one, and there’s no one else.I won’t live as a widow.I won’t suffer the loss of children.”
9 In one day both of these will happen to you instantly:the loss of your children and your husband.All this will happen to you in spite ofyour evil magic and your many spells.
