[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, lift up your skirt, uncover your legs,
and wade through the rivers.
[3] Your nakedness will be uncovered.
Yes, your shame will be seen.
I will take vengeance,
and will spare no one.” [4] Our Redeemer, Yahweh of Armies is his name,
is the Holy One of Israel. [5] “Sit in silence, and go into darkness,
daughter of the Chaldeans.
For you shall no longer be called
the mistress of kingdoms.
[6] I was angry with my people.
I profaned my inheritance
and gave them into your hand.
You showed them no mercy.
You laid a very heavy yoke on the aged.
[7] You said, ‘I will be a princess forever,’
so that you didn’t lay these things to your heart,
nor did you remember the results. [8] “Now therefore hear this, you who are given to pleasures,
who sit securely,
who say in your heart,
‘I am, and there is no one else besides me.
I won’t sit as a widow,
neither will I know the loss of children.’
[9] But these two things will come to you in a moment in one day:
the loss of children and widowhood.
They will come on you in their full measure,
in the multitude of your sorceries,
and the great abundance of your enchantments.
[10] For you have trusted in your wickedness.
You have said, ‘No one sees me.’
Your wisdom and your knowledge has perverted you.
You have said in your heart, ‘I am, and there is no one else besides me.’
[11] Therefore disaster will come on you.
You won’t know when it dawns.
Mischief will fall on you.
You won’t be able to put it away.
Desolation will come on you suddenly,
which you don’t understand. [12] “Stand now with your enchantments
and with the multitude of your sorceries,
in which you have labored from your youth,
as if you might profit,
as if you might prevail.
[13] You are wearied in the multitude of your counsels.
Now let the astrologers, the stargazers, and the monthly prognosticators stand up and save you from the things that will happen to you.
[14] Behold, they are like stubble.
The fire will burn them.
They won’t deliver themselves from the power of the flame.
It won’t be a coal to warm at
or a fire to sit by.
[15] The things that you labored in will be like this:
those who have trafficked with you from your youth will each wander in his own way.
There will be no one to save you.
King James Version

Doom of Babylon

[1] Come down, H3381 and sit H3427 in the dust, H6083 O virgin H1330 daughter H1323 of Babylon, H894 sit H3427 on H5921 the ground: H776 there is no throne, H3678 O daughter H1323 of the Chaldeans: H3778 for H3588 thou shalt no more H3254 be called H7121 tender H7390 and delicate. H6028 [2] Take H3947 the millstones, H7347 and grind H2912 meal: H7058 uncover H1540 thy locks, H6777 make bare H2834 the leg, H7640 uncover H1540 the thigh, H7785 pass over H5674 the rivers. H5104 [3] Thy nakedness H6172 shall be uncovered, H1540 yea, thy shame H2781 shall be seen: H7200 I will take H3947 vengeance, H5359 and I will not meet H6293 thee as a man. H120 [4] As for our redeemer, H1350 the Lord H3068 of hosts H6635 is his name, H8034 the Holy One H6918 of Israel. H3478 [5] Sit H3427 thou silent, H1748 and get H935 thee into darkness, H2822 O daughter H1323 of the Chaldeans: H3778 for H3588 thou shalt no more H3254 be called, H7121 The lady H1404 of kingdoms. H4467 [6] I was wroth H7107 with my people, H5971 I have polluted H2490 mine inheritance, H5159 and given H5414 them into thine hand: H3027 thou didst shew H7760 them no mercy; H7356 upon H5921 the ancient H2205 hast thou very H3966 heavily H3513 laid thy yoke. H5923 [7] And thou saidst, H559 I shall be a lady H1404 for ever: H5769 so that thou didst not lay H7760 these things to thy heart, H3820 neither didst remember H2142 the latter end H319 of it. [8] Therefore hear H8085 now this, thou that art given to pleasures, H5719 that dwellest H3427 carelessly, H983 that sayest H559 in thine heart, H3824 I am, and none else H657 beside me; I shall not sit H3427 as a widow, H490 neither shall I know H3045 the loss of children: H7908 [9] but these two H8147 things shall come H935 to thee in a moment H7281 in one H259 day, H3117 the loss of children, H7908 and widowhood: H489 they shall come H935 upon H5921 thee in their perfection H8537 for the multitude H7230 of thy sorceries, H3785 and for the great H3966 abundance H6109 of thine enchantments. H2267 [10] For thou hast trusted H982 in thy wickedness: H7451 thou hast said, H559 None seeth H7200 me. Thy wisdom H2451 and thy knowledge, H1847 it hath perverted H7725 thee;§ and thou hast said H559 in thine heart, H3820 I am, and none else H657 beside me. [11] Therefore shall evil H7451 come H935 upon H5921 thee; thou shalt not know H3045 from whence it riseth: H7837§ and mischief H1943 shall fall H5307 upon H5921 thee; thou shalt not be able H3201 to put it off: H3722§ and desolation H7722 shall come H935 upon H5921 thee suddenly, H6597 which thou shalt not know. H3045 [12] Stand H5975 now with thine enchantments, H2267 and with the multitude H7230 of thy sorceries, H3785 wherein H834 thou hast laboured H3021 from thy youth; H5271 if so be thou shalt be able H3201 to profit, H3276 if so be thou mayest prevail. H6206 [13] Thou art wearied H3811 in the multitude H7230 of thy counsels. H6098 Let now the astrologers, H1895§ H8064 the stargazers, H2374 H3556 the monthly H2320 prognosticators, H3045§ stand up, H5975 and save H3467 thee from these things that shall come H935 upon thee. [14] Behold, they shall be as stubble; H7179 the fire H784 shall burn H8313 them; they shall not deliver H5337 H853 themselves H5315§ from the power H3027 of the flame: H3852 there shall not be a coal H1513 to warm H2552 at, nor fire H217 to sit H3427 before it. [15] Thus H3651 shall they be unto thee with whom thou hast laboured, H3021 even thy merchants, H5503 from thy youth: H5271 they shall wander H8582 every one H376 to his quarter; H5676 none shall save H3467 thee.
