O virgin daughter of cBabylon;
Sit on the ground without a throne,
O daughter of the Chaldeans!
For you shall no more be called

Remove your veil,
Take off the skirt,
Uncover the thigh,
Pass through the rivers.

Take off the skirt,
Uncover the thigh,
Pass through the rivers.

Yes, your shame will be seen;

And I will not arbitrate with a man.”
