Come down,{H3381} and sit{H3427} in the dust,{H6083} O virgin{H1330} daughter{H1323} of Babylon;{H894} sit{H3427} on the ground{H776} without a throne,{H3678} O daughter{H1323} of the Chaldeans:{H3778} for thou shalt no more{H3254} be called{H7121} tender{H7390} and delicate.{H6028}

Take{H3947} the millstones,{H7347} and grind{H2912} meal;{H7058} remove{H1540} thy veil,{H6777} strip{H2834} off the train,{H7640} uncover{H1540} the leg,{H7785} pass through{H5674} the rivers.{H5104}

Thy nakedness{H6172} shall be uncovered,{H1540} yea, thy shame{H2781} shall be seen:{H7200} I will take{H3947} vengeance,{H5359} and will spare{H6293} no man.{H120}

Our Redeemer,{H1350} Jehovah{H3068} of hosts{H6635} is his name,{H8034} the Holy One{H6918} of Israel.{H3478}

Sit{H3427} thou silent,{H1748} and get{H935} thee into darkness,{H2822} O daughter{H1323} of the Chaldeans;{H3778} for thou shalt no more{H3254} be called{H7121} The mistress{H1404} of kingdoms.{H4467}

I was wroth{H7107} with my people,{H5971} I profaned{H2490} mine inheritance,{H5159} and gave{H5414} them into thy hand:{H3027} thou didst show{H7760} them no mercy;{H7356} upon the aged{H2205} hast thou very{H3966} heavily{H3513} laid thy yoke.{H5923}

And thou saidst,{H559} I shall be mistress{H1404} for ever;{H5769} so that thou didst not lay{H7760} these things to thy heart,{H3820} neither didst remember{H2142} the latter end{H319} thereof.

Now therefore hear{H8085} this, thou that art given to pleasures,{H5719} that sittest{H3427} securely,{H983} that sayest{H559} in thy heart,{H3824} I am, and there is none else{H657} besides me; I shall not sit{H3427} as a widow,{H490} neither shall I know{H3045} the loss of children:{H7908}

but these two{H8147} things shall come{H935} to thee in a moment{H7281} in one{H259} day,{H3117} the loss of children,{H7908} and widowhood;{H489} in their full measure{H8537} shall they come{H935} upon thee, in the multitude{H7230} of thy sorceries,{H3785} and the great{H3966} abundance{H6109} of thine enchantments.{H2267}

For thou hast trusted{H982} in thy wickedness;{H7451} thou hast said,{H559} None seeth{H7200} me; thy wisdom{H2451} and thy knowledge,{H1847} it hath perverted{H7725} thee, and thou hast said{H559} in thy heart,{H3820} I am, and there is none else{H657} besides me.

Therefore shall evil{H7451} come{H935} upon thee; thou shalt not know{H3045} the dawning{H7837} thereof: and mischief{H1943} shall fall{H5307} upon thee; thou shalt not be able{H3201} to put it away:{H3722} and desolation{H7722} shall come{H935} upon thee suddenly,{H6597} which thou knowest{H3045} not.

Stand{H5975} now with thine enchantments,{H2267} and with the multitude{H7230} of thy sorceries,{H3785} wherein{H834} thou hast labored{H3021} from thy youth;{H5271} if so be thou shalt be able{H3201} to profit,{H3276} if so be thou mayest prevail.{H6206}

Thou art wearied{H3811} in the multitude{H7230} of thy counsels:{H6098} let now the astrologers,{H1895} the star-gazers,{H2374} the monthly{H2320} prognosticators,{H3045} stand up,{H5975} and save{H3467} thee from the things that shall come{H935} upon thee.

Behold, they shall be as stubble;{H7179} the fire{H784} shall burn{H8313} them; they shall not deliver{H5337} themselves{H5315} from the power{H3027} of the flame:{H3852} it shall not be a coal{H1513} to warm{H2552} at, nor a fire{H217} to sit{H3427} before.

Thus shall the things be unto thee wherein thou hast labored:{H3021} they that have trafficked{H5503} with thee from thy youth{H5271} shall wander{H8582} every one{H376} to his quarter;{H5676} there shall be none to save{H3467} thee.
