1 |Come down and sit in the dust, Virgin Daughter of Babylon. Sit on the ground without a chair, Daughter of the Chaldeans! For no longer will they call you tender and attractive. 2 Take millstones and grind flour. Remove your veil, strip off your robes, bare your legs, and wade through the rivers. 3 Your nakedness will be exposed, and your disgrace will also be seen. I'll take vengeance, and I will spare no mortal. 4 |Our Redeemer— the LORD of the Heavenly Armies is his name— is the Holy One of Israel. 5 |Sit silent, and enter into the darkness, you daughter of the Chaldeans; for no more will they call you Queen of Kingdoms.
