2 Get millstones and grind some flour like a female slave. Take your veil off. Lift your skirts up. Make your legs bare. Wade through the streams.
3 Everyone will see your naked body. Everyone will see your shame. I will pay you back for what you did. I will not spare any of your people."
4 The one who sets us free is the Holy One of Israel. His name is The Lord Who Rules Over All.
5 The Lord says, "City of the Babylonians, go into a dark prison and sit there quietly. You will not be called the queen of kingdoms anymore.
6 I was angry with my people. I treated them as if they did not belong to me. I handed them over to you. And you did not show them any pity. You even placed heavy loads on their old people.
7 You said, 'I will continue to be queen forever!' But you did not think about what you were doing. You did not consider how things might turn out.
8 "So listen, you who love pleasure. You think you are safe and secure. You say to yourself, 'I am like a god. No one is greater than I am. I'll never be a widow. And my children will never be taken away from me.'
