2 Take millstones and grind meal; remove your veil,strip off your skirt, bare your thigh,wade through the streams.
3 Your nakedness will be uncovered,and your shame will be exposed. I will take vengeance;I will spare no one.
4 The Holy One of Israel is our Redeemer; Yahweh of Hosts is His name.
5 “Daughter Chaldea,sit in silence and go into darkness.For you will no longer be called mistress of kingdoms.
6 I was angry with My people;I profaned My possession,and I placed them under your control.You showed them no mercy;you made your yoke very heavy on the elderly.
7 You said, ‘I will be the mistress forever.’You did not take these things to heartor think about their outcome.
8 “So now hear this, lover of luxury,who sits securely, who says to herself,‘I exist, and there is no one else.I will never be a widowor know the loss of children.’
