1Come down3381, and sit3427 in the dust6083, O virgin1330 daughter1323 of Babylon894, sit3427 on the ground776: there is no throne3678, O daughter1323 of the Chaldeans3778: for thou shalt no more3254 be called7121 tender7390 and delicate6028.
2Take3947 the millstones7347, and grind2912 meal7058: uncover1540 thy locks6777, make bare2834 the leg7640, uncover1540 the thigh7785, pass over5674 the rivers5104.
3Thy nakedness6172 shall be uncovered1540, yea, thy shame2781 shall be seen7200: I will take3947 vengeance5359, and I will not meet6293 thee as a man120.
4As for our redeemer1350, the LORD3068 of hosts6635 is his name8034, the Holy One6918 of Israel3478.
5Sit3427 thou silent1748, and get935 thee into darkness2822, O daughter1323 of the Chaldeans3778: for thou shalt no more3254 be called7121, The lady1404 of kingdoms4467.
6I was wroth7107 with my people5971, I have polluted2490 mine inheritance5159, and given5414 them into thine hand3027: thou didst shew7760 them no mercy7356; upon the ancient2205 hast thou very3966 heavily3513 laid thy yoke5923.
7And thou saidst559, I shall be a lady1404 for ever5769: so that thou didst not lay7760 these things to thy heart3820, neither didst remember2142 the latter end319 of it.
8Therefore hear8085 now this, thou that art given to pleasures5719, that dwellest3427 carelessly983, that sayest559 in thine heart3824, I am, and none else657 beside me; I shall not sit3427 as a widow490, neither shall I know3045 the loss of children7908:
9But these two8147 things shall come935 to thee in a moment7281 in one259 day3117, the loss of children7908, and widowhood489: they shall come935 upon thee in their perfection8537 for the multitude7230 of thy sorceries3785, and for the great3966 abundance6109 of thine enchantments2267.
10For thou hast trusted982 in thy wickedness7451: thou hast said559, None seeth7200 me. Thy wisdom2451 and thy knowledge1847, it hath perverted7725 thee; and thou hast said559 in thine heart3820, I am, and none else657 beside me.
11Therefore shall evil7451 come935 upon thee; thou shalt not know3045 from whence it riseth7837: and mischief1943 shall fall5307 upon thee; thou shalt not be able3201 to put it off3722: and desolation7722 shall come935 upon thee suddenly6597, which thou shalt not know3045.
12Stand5975 now with thine enchantments2267, and with the multitude7230 of thy sorceries3785, wherein834 thou hast laboured3021 from thy youth5271; if so be thou shalt be able3201 to profit3276, if so be thou mayest prevail6206.
13Thou art wearied3811 in the multitude7230 of thy counsels6098. Let now the astrologers1895 8064, the stargazers2374 3556, the monthly2320 prognosticators3045, stand up5975, and save3467 thee from these things that shall come935 upon thee.
14Behold, they shall be as stubble7179; the fire784 shall burn8313 them; they shall not deliver5337 themselves5315 from the power3027 of the flame3852: there shall not be a coal1513 to warm2552 at, nor fire217 to sit3427 before it.
15Thus shall they be unto thee with whom thou hast laboured3021, even thy merchants5503, from thy youth5271: they shall wander8582 every one376 to his quarter5676; none shall save3467 thee.
