1 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.
2 Take the millstones, and grind meal; remove your veil, strip off the train, uncover the leg, pass through the rivers.
3 Your nakedness shall be uncovered, yes, your shame shall be seen: I will take vengeance, and will spare no man.
4 Our Redeemer, Yahweh of hosts is his name, the Holy One of Israel.
5 Sit you silent, and get you into darkness, daughter of the Chaldeans; for you shall no more be called The mistress of kingdoms.
