O virgin daughter of cBabylon;
Sit on the ground without a throne,

O virgin daughter of cBabylon;
Sit on the ground without a throne,
O daughter of the Chaldeans!
For you shall no more be called
Tender and1 delicate.
2 aTake the millstones and grind meal.
Remove your veil,
Take off the skirt,
Uncover the thigh,
Pass through the rivers.
Remove your veil,
Take off the skirt,
Uncover the thigh,
Pass through the rivers.
3 aYour nakedness shall be uncovered,
Yes, your shame will be seen;
bI will take vengeance,
And I will not arbitrate with a man.”
Yes, your shame will be seen;

And I will not arbitrate with a man.”
