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 you shall no more be calledTender and delicate.
2 Take the millstones and grind meal.Remove your veil,Take off the skirt,Uncover the thigh,Pass through the rivers.
3 Your nakedness shall be uncovered,Yes, your shame will be seen;I will take vengeance,And I will not arbitrate with a man.”
4 As for our Redeemer, the Lord of hosts is His name,The Holy One of Israel.
5 “Sit in silence, and go into darkness,O daughter of the Chaldeans;For you shall no longer be calledThe Lady of Kingdoms.
