She who bore you shall be ashamed.
Behold, the least of the nations shall be a awilderness,
A dry land and a desert.
She shall not be inhabited,
aBut she shall be wholly desolate.
bEveryone who goes by Babylon shall be horrified
And hiss at all her plagues.
All you who bend the bow;
Shoot at her, spare no arrows,
For she has sinned against the Lord.
She has agiven her hand,
Her foundations have fallen,
bHer walls are thrown down;
For cit is the vengeance of the Lord.
Take vengeance on her.
As she has done, so do to her.
And him who handles the sickle at harvest time.
For fear of the oppressing sword
aEveryone shall turn to his own people,
And everyone shall flee to his own land.
bThe lions have driven him away.
First cthe king of Assyria devoured him;
Now at last this dNebuchadnezzar king of Babylon has broken his bones.”
“Behold, I will punish the king of Babylon and his land,
As I have punished the king of aAssyria.
