3 Your nakedness will be uncovered, and your shame will be exposed. I will take vengeance, and will spare no one.
4 Our Redeemer, Adonai-Tzva’ot is His Name, is the Holy One of Israel.
5 Sit in silence, go into darkness, daughter of the Chaldeans. For you will no more be called the mistress-queen of kingdoms.
6 I was angry with My people. I profaned My heritage. I gave them into your hand, but you showed them no mercy. You made your yoke very heavy on the aged.
7 You said, “Forever, I will be the eternal mistress-queen!” You did not lay these things to heart or remember their end.
8 Now then, hear this, voluptuous one, dwelling securely, saying in your heart, “I am, and there is no one besides me! I will not sit as a widow, or know the loss of children,”
9 These two things will come upon you in a moment, in one day— loss of children and widowhood— they will come upon you in full measure in spite of your many sorceries and your many spells.
