Mourning for Babylon

1“Come down and sit in the dust,

Virgin daughter of Babylon;

Sit on the ground without a throne,

Daughter of the Chaldeans!

For you will no longer be called tender and delicate.

2“Take the millstones and grind flour.

Remove your veil, strip off the skirt,

Uncover the leg, cross the rivers.

3“Your nakedness will be uncovered,

Your shame will also be exposed;

I will take vengeance and will not spare anyone.”
