1 Come and take your seat in the dust, O virgin daughter of Babylon; come down from your seat of power, and take your place on the earth, O daughter of the Chaldaeans: for you will never again seem soft and delicate.
2 Take the crushing-stones and get the meal crushed: take off your veil, put away your robe, let your legs be uncovered, go through the rivers.
3 The shame of your unclothed condition will be seen by all: I will give punishment without mercy,
4 Says the Lord who takes up our cause; the Lord of armies is his name, the Holy One of Israel.
