1 # Come down <03381> (8798), and sit <03427> (8798) in the dust <06083>, O virgin <01330> daughter <01323> of Babylon <0894>, sit <03427> (8798) on the ground <0776>: there is no throne <03678>, O daughter <01323> of the Chaldeans <03778>: for thou shalt no more <03254> (8686) be called <07121> (8799) tender <07390> and delicate <06028>.
2 Take <03947> (8798) the millstones <07347>, and grind <02912> (8798) meal <07058>: uncover <01540> (8761) thy locks <06777>, make bare <02834> (8798) the leg <07640>, uncover <01540> (8761) the thigh <07785>, pass over <05674> (8798) the rivers <05104>.
3 Thy nakedness <06172> shall be uncovered <01540> (8735), yea, thy shame <02781> shall be seen <07200> (8735) : I will take <03947> (8799) vengeance <05359>, and I will not meet <06293> (8799) thee as a man <0120>.
4 As for our redeemer <01350> (8802), the LORD <03068> of hosts <06635> is his name <08034>, the Holy One <06918> of Israel <03478>.
5 Sit <03427> (8798) thou silent <01748>, and get <0935> (8798) thee into darkness <02822>, O daughter <01323> of the Chaldeans <03778>: for thou shalt no more <03254> (8686) be called <07121> (8799), The lady <01404> of kingdoms <04467>.
6 I was wroth <07107> (8804) with my people <05971>, I have polluted <02490> (8765) mine inheritance <05159> , and given <05414> (8799) them into thine hand <03027>: thou didst shew <07760> (8804) them no mercy <07356>; upon the ancient <02205> hast thou very <03966> heavily <03513> (8689) laid thy yoke <05923>.
7 # And thou saidst <0559> (8799), I shall be a lady <01404> for ever <05769>: so that thou didst not lay <07760> (8804) these things to thy heart <03820>, neither didst remember <02142> (8804) the latter end <0319> of it.
8 Therefore hear <08085> (8798) now this, thou that art given to pleasures <05719>, that dwellest <03427> (8802) carelessly <0983>, that sayest <0559> (8802) in thine heart <03824>, I am, and none else <0657> beside me; I shall not sit <03427> (8799) as a widow <0490>, neither shall I know <03045> (8799) the loss of children <07908>:
9 But these two <08147> things shall come <0935> (8799) to thee in a moment <07281> in one <0259> day <03117>, the loss of children <07908>, and widowhood <0489>: they shall come <0935> (8804) upon thee in their perfection <08537> for the multitude <07230> of thy sorceries <03785>, and for the great <03966> abundance <06109> of thine enchantments <02267>.
10 For thou hast trusted <0982> (8799) in thy wickedness <07451>: thou hast said <0559> (8804), None seeth <07200> (8802) me. Thy wisdom <02451> and thy knowledge <01847>, it hath perverted <07725> (8790) thee; and thou hast said <0559> (8799) in thine heart <03820>, I am, and none else <0657> beside me.
11 Therefore shall evil <07451> come <0935> (8804) upon thee; thou shalt not know <03045> (8799) from whence it riseth <07837>: and mischief <01943> shall fall <05307> (8799) upon thee; thou shalt not be able <03201> (8799) to put it off <03722> (8763): and desolation <07722> shall come <0935> (8799) upon thee suddenly <06597>, which thou shalt not know <03045> (8799).
12 Stand <05975> (8798) now with thine enchantments <02267>, and with the multitude <07230> of thy sorceries <03785> , wherein <0834> thou hast laboured <03021> (8804) from thy youth <05271>; if so be thou shalt be able <03201> (8799) to profit <03276> (8687), if so be thou mayest prevail <06206> (8799).
13 Thou art wearied <03811> (8738) in the multitude <07230> of thy counsels <06098>. Let now the astrologers <01895> (8802) <08064>, the stargazers <02374> <03556>, the monthly <02320> prognosticators <03045> (8688), stand up <05975> (8799), and save <03467> (8686) thee from these things that shall come <0935> (8799) upon thee.
14 Behold, they shall be as stubble <07179>; the fire <0784> shall burn <08313> (8804) them; they shall not deliver <05337> (8686) themselves <05315> from the power <03027> of the flame <03852>: there shall not be a coal <01513> to warm <02552> (8800) at, nor fire <0217> to sit <03427> (8800) before it.
15 Thus shall they be unto thee with whom thou hast laboured <03021> (8804), even thy merchants <05503> (8802), from thy youth <05271>: they shall wander <08582> (8804) every one <0376> to his quarter <05676>; none shall save <03467> (8688) thee.
