ComeH3381 down,H3381 and sitH3427 in the dust,H6083 O virginH1330 daughterH1323 of Babylon,H894 sitH3427 onH5921 the ground:H776 there is noH369 throne,H3678 O daughterH1323 of the Chaldeans:H3778 for you shall noH3808 moreH3254 be calledH7121 tenderH7390 and delicate.H6028
2
TakeH3947 the millstones,H7347 and grindH2912 meal:H7058 uncoverH1540 your locks,H6777 make boreH2834 the leg,H7640 uncoverH1540 the thigh,H7785 passH5674 overH5674 the rivers.H5103
3
Your nakednessH6172 shall be uncovered,H1540 yes,H1571 your shameH2781 shall be seen:H7200 I will takeH3947 vengeance,H5359 and I will not meetH6293 you as a man.H120
4
As for our redeemer,H1350 the LORDH3068 of hostsH6635 is his name,H8034 the HolyH6918 One of Israel.H3478
5
SitH3427 you silent,H1748 and getH935 you into darkness,H2822 O daughterH1323 of the Chaldeans:H3778 for you shall noH3808 moreH3254 be called,H7121 The ladyH1404 of kingdoms.H4467
6
I was wrothH7107 with my people,H5971 I have pollutedH2490 my inheritance,H5159 and givenH5414 them into your hand:H3027 you did showH7760 them noH3808 mercy;H7356 on the ancientH2204 have you veryH3966 heavilyH3513 laid your yoke.H5923
7
And you said,H559 I shall be a ladyH1404 for ever:H5769 soH5704 that you did not layH7760 theseH428 things to your heart,H3820 neitherH3808 did rememberH2142 the latterH319 end of it.
8
Therefore hearH8085 nowH6258 this,H2063 you that are given to pleasures,H5719 that dwellH3427 carelessly,H983 that sayH559 in your heart,H3824 I am, and noneH657 elseH5750 besideH657 me; I shall not sitH3427 as a widow,H490 neitherH3808 shall I knowH3045 the lossH7921 of children:
9
But theseH428 twoH8147 things shall comeH935 to you in a momentH7281 in oneH259 day,H3117 the lossH7921 of children, and widowhood:H489 they shall comeH935 on you in their perfectionH8537 for the multitudeH7230 of your sorceries,H3785 and for the greatH3966 abundanceH6109 of your enchantments.H2267
10
For you have trustedH982 in your wickedness:H7451 you have said,H559 NoneH369 seesH7200 me. Your wisdomH2451 and your knowledge,H1847 it has pervertedH7725 you; and you have saidH559 in your heart,H3820 I am, and noneH657 elseH5750 besideH657 me.
11
Therefore shall evilH7451 comeH935 on you; you shall not knowH3045 from where it rises:H7837 and mischiefH1943 shall fallH5307 on you; you shall not be ableH3201 to putH3722 it off: and desolationH7722 shall comeH935 on you suddenly,H6597 which you shall not know.H3045
12
StandH5975 nowH4994 with your enchantments,H2267 and with the multitudeH7230 of your sorceries,H3785 whereinH834 you have laboredH3021 from your youth;H5271 ifH194 so be you shall be ableH3201 to profit,H3276 ifH194 so be you may prevail.H6206
13
You are weariedH3811 in the multitudeH7230 of your counsels.H6098 Let nowH4994 the astrologers,H1895 H8064 the stargazers,H2374 3556 the monthlyH2320 prognosticators,H3045 standH5975 up, and saveH3467 you from these things that shall comeH935 on you.
14
Behold,H2009 they shall be as stubble;H7179 the fireH784 shall burnH8313 them; they shall not deliverH5337 themselvesH5315 from the powerH3027 of the flame:H3852 there shall not be a coalH1513 to warmH2552 at, nor fireH217 to sitH3427 beforeH5048 it.
15
ThusH3651 shall they be to you with whomH834 you have labored,H3021 even your merchants,H5503 from your youth:H5271 they shall wanderH8582 everyH376 oneH376 to his quarter;H5676 noneH369 shall saveH3467 you.
