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.
6 I was angry with My people;I have profaned My inheritance,And given them into your hand.You showed them no mercy;On the elderly you laid your yoke very heavily.
7 And you said, ‘I shall be a lady forever,’So that you did not take these things to heart,Nor remember the latter end of them.
8 “Therefore hear this now, you who are given to pleasures,Who dwell securely,Who say in your heart, ‘I am, and there is no one else besides me;I shall not sit as a widow,Nor shall I know the loss of children’;
9 But these two things shall come to youIn a moment, in one day:The loss of children, and widowhood.They shall come upon you in their fullnessBecause of the multitude of your sorceries,For the great abundance of your enchantments.
