54 “Paint your face!
55 You will be paid for your work as a prostitute; you will get what you have earned.
56 I will pay you back,” says the Lord, “for what you have done to my chosen people. I will bring disaster on you.
57 You will be put to death, and your children will starve. Your cities will be torn down, and the people out in the country will be killed.
58 Those in the mountains will starve; their hunger and thirst will drive them to eat their own flesh and drink their own blood.
59 You will be more miserable than anyone has ever been, but there will be still more punishment to come.
60 The army that destroyed Babylon will march back through your country and devastate your peaceful city; they will destroy your beautiful country and leave most of it in ruins.
