“Go
down and sit in the dust, O
Virgin Daughter of Babylon .
Sit on the ground without a throne, O
Daughter of Chaldea!
For you will
no longer
be called tender or
delicate.
Come
down ,
and sit in the dust, virgin daughter of Babylon ;
sit on the ground without a throne, daughter of the
Chaldeans:
for you shall
no more
be called tender and
delicate.
Take millstones and grind flour
; remove your veil ;
strip off your
skirt
, bare
your
thigh
, and
wade
through the streams
.
Take the
millstones ,
and grind meal
; remove your veil ,
strip off the
train
, uncover
the
leg
, pass
through the rivers
.
Your nakedness will
be uncovered and
your shame will
be exposed.
I will take vengeance ;
I
will spare no one
. ”
Your nakedness shall
be uncovered ,
yes,
your shame shall
be seen:
I will take vengeance ,
and
will spare no man
.
Our Redeemer —the
LORD
of Hosts is His name —
is
the Holy One of Israel.
Our Redeemer ,
Yahweh
of hosts is his name ,
the Holy One of Israel.
“
Sit in
silence
and go
into darkness, O
Daughter of Chaldea.
For you will
no longer
be called the queen
of kingdoms.
Sit you
silent,
and get
you
into darkness, daughter of the
Chaldeans;
for you shall
no more
be called The mistress
of kingdoms.
I was angry with My people ;
I profaned My heritage
, and I
placed
them under
your control.
You showed
them no mercy; even
on the elderly
you laid a
most
heavy
yoke.
I was angry with my people ,
I profaned my inheritance
, and gave
them into
your hand:
you did
show
them no mercy; on the aged
have
you very
heavily
laid your
yoke.
You said, ‘
I will
be queen
forever .’
You did not take
these things to heart or
consider
their
outcome
.
You said, I shall
be mistress
forever ;
so
that
you did not lay
these things to your
heart ,
neither
did
remember
the
latter
end
of
it
.
So
now hear this, O
lover
of
luxury
who sits
securely, who says
to
herself
, ‘
I am, and there is none besides me .
I will
never
be
a widow or
know the loss of children .’
Now therefore
hear this, you
who are
given
to
pleasures,
who
sit
securely, who say
in
your
heart
, I am, and there is none else
besides me ;
I shall
not
sit
as
a widow ,
neither
shall
I
know the loss of children :
These two things will
overtake
you in a moment ,
in a
single
day :
loss of children, and widowhood .
They
will
come
upon
you
in full measure, in spite
of your many
sorceries and the potency
of your spells
.
but
these two things shall
come
to
you in a moment in one
day ,
the
loss of children, and widowhood ;
in their
full measure shall
they
come
on
you
, in the
multitude
of your sorceries ,
and the great
abundance
of your enchantments
.
You were
secure
in your wickedness; you said, ‘No
one
sees me .’
Your wisdom and knowledge led
you astray;
you told
yourself
, ‘
I am, and there is none besides me. ’
For
you have
trusted
in your wickedness; you have
said, None
sees me ;
your wisdom and your
knowledge ,
it
has
perverted
you ,
and
you have
said
in
your
heart
, I am, and there is none else
besides me.
But
disaster
will
come upon
you; you will
not know how
to
charm
it away.
A
calamity
will
befall
you that
you will
be unable
to
ward
off.
Devastation
will
happen
to you suddenly and
unexpectedly
.
Therefore
shall
evil
come on
you; you shall
not know the
dawning
of
it :
and
mischief
shall
fall
on
you ;
you shall
not
be able
to put
it
away:
and
desolation
shall
come
on
you suddenly ,
which
you
don't
know
.
So
take
your
stand with your spells
and with your many
sorceries, with
which you have wearied
yourself
from your youth .
Perhaps
you
will
succeed
; perhaps
you will
inspire
terror!
Stand now
with your enchantments,
and with the
multitude
of
your sorceries, in
which you have labored
from your youth; if
so
be
you shall
be
able
to
profit,
if
so
be
you
may
prevail.
You are wearied by
your many
counselors;
let them
come
forward
now and
save
you—
your
astrologers who
observe
the stars
, who
monthly predict
your
fate
.
You are wearied in
the
multitude
of
your counsels:
let now the
astrologers ,
the star-gazers
, the
monthly prognosticators,
stand
up,
and
save
you
from
the
things
that
shall
come
on
you
.
Surely
they are
like
stubble; the fire will
burn them up.
They cannot
deliver themselves from the power of the flame .
There
will
be no
coals
to warm them
or
fire to sit beside
.
Behold,
they shall
be
as
stubble; the fire shall
burn them ;
they shall
not
deliver themselves from the power of the flame :
it
shall
not
be a
coal
to warm at,
nor
a
fire to sit before
.
This
is
what
they
are
to you —
those
with
whom
you have labored and
traded
from youth —
each
one
strays
in
his own
direction
; not
one
of
them
can
save you.
Thus
shall
the
things
be
to you in
which
you have labored :
those
who
have
trafficked
with
you
from your
youth shall
wander
everyone
to
his quarter
; there
shall
be
none
to
save you.
