1 “Go down, sit in the dust, Virgin Daughter Babylon; sit on the ground without a throne, queen city of the Babylonians. No more will you be called tender or delicate. 2 Take millstones and grind flour; take off your veil. Lift up your skirts, bare your legs, and wade through the streams. 3 Your nakedness will be exposed and your shame uncovered. I will take vengeance; I will spare no one.” 4 Our Redeemer—the LORD Almighty is his name— is the Holy One of Israel. 5 “Sit in silence, go into darkness, queen city of the Babylonians; no more will you be called queen of kingdoms.
