1 “Fall down! Sit in the dirt,O virgin daughter Babylon!Sit on the ground, not on a throne,O daughter of the Babylonians!Indeed, you will no longer be called delicate and pampered.
2 Pick up millstones and grind flour!Remove your veil,strip off your skirt,expose your legs,cross the streams!
3 Let your private parts be exposed!Your genitals will be on display!I will get revenge;I will not have pity on anyone,”
4 says our protector – the Lord who commands armies is his name,the Holy One of Israel.
5 “Sit silently! Go to a hiding place,O daughter of the Babylonians!Indeed, you will no longer be called ‘Queen of kingdoms.’
6 I was angry at my people;I defiled my special possessionand handed them over to you.You showed them no mercy;you even placed a very heavy burden on old people.
