1 Come down, and sit in the dust, O virgin daughter of Babylon; sit on the ground, without a throne, O daughter of the Chaldeans; for thou shalt no longer be called tender and delicate.
2 Take the millstones and grind meal; uncover thy locks, remove the shoes from thy feet, uncover the thigh, pass over the rivers.
3 Thy nakedness shall be uncovered and thy shame shall be seen; I will take vengeance, and I will not help any man.
4 As for our redeemer, the Lord of the hosts is his name, the Holy One of Israel.
