1 “Go down and sit in the dust,
|
||||
Virgin Daughter Babylon.
|
||||
Sit on the ground without a throne,
|
||||
Daughter Chaldea!
|
||||
For you will no longer be called pampered and spoiled.
|
||||
|
||||
2. Take millstones and grind flour;
|

2 Take millstones and grind flour;
|
||||
remove your veil,
|
||||
strip off your skirt, bare your thigh,
|
||||
wade through the streams.
|
||||
|
||||
3. Your nakedness will be uncovered,
|
||||
3 Your nakedness will be uncovered,
|
||||
and your disgrace will be exposed.
|
||||
I will take vengeance;
|
||||
I will spare no one."

I will spare no one.”
|

|
||||
The Lord of Armies is his name.

5 “Daughter Chaldea,
|
||||
sit in silence and go into darkness.
|
||||
For you will no longer be called mistress of kingdoms.
|
||||
|
||||
6. I was angry with my people;
|
||||
6 I was angry with my people;
|
||||
I profaned my possession,
|
||||
and I handed them over to you.
|
||||
You showed them no mercy;
|
||||
you made your yoke very heavy on the elderly.
|
||||
|
||||
7. You said, 'I will be the queen forever.'
|
||||
7 You said, ‘I will be the queen forever.’
|
||||
You did not take these things to heart
|
||||
or think about their outcome.
|
||||
|
||||
8. "So now hear this, lover of luxury,
|
||||
8 “So now hear this, lover of luxury,
|
||||
who sits securely,
|
||||
who says to herself,
|
||||
'I am, and there is no one else.
|
||||
|
||||
‘I am, and there is no one else.
|
||||
I will never be a widow
|
||||
or know the loss of children.'
|
||||
|
||||
9. These two things will happen to you
|
||||
or know the loss of children.’
|
||||
9 These two things will happen to you
|
||||
suddenly, in one day:
|
||||
loss of children and widowhood.
|
||||
They will happen to you in their entirety,
|
||||
in spite of your many sorceries
|
||||
and the potency of your spells.
|
||||
|
||||
10. You were secure in your wickedness;
|
||||
you said, 'No one sees me.'
|
||||
10 You were secure in your wickedness;
|
||||
you said, ‘No one sees me.’
|
||||
Your wisdom and knowledge
|
||||
led you astray.
|
||||
You said to yourself,
|
||||
'I am, and there is no one else.'
|
||||
|
||||
11. But disaster will happen to you;
|
||||
‘I am, and there is no one else.’
|
||||
11 But disaster will happen to you;
|
||||
you will not know how to avert it.
|
||||
And it will fall on you,
|
||||
but you will be unable to ward it off.
|
||||
|
||||
Devastation will happen to you suddenly
|
||||
and unexpectedly.
|
||||
|
||||
12. So take your stand with your spells
|
||||
12 So take your stand with your spells
|
||||
and your many sorceries,
|
||||
which you have wearied yourself with from your youth.
|
||||
Perhaps you will be able to succeed;
|
||||
perhaps you will inspire terror!
|
||||
|
||||
13. You are worn out with your many consultations.
|
||||
So let the astrologers stand and save you--
|
||||
13 You are worn out with your many consultations.
|
||||
So let the astrologers stand and save you—
|
||||
those who observe the stars,
|
||||
those who predict monthly
|
||||
what will happen to you.
|
||||
|
||||
14. Look, they are like stubble;
|
||||
14 Look, they are like stubble;
|
||||
fire burns them.
|
||||
|
||||
They cannot rescue themselves
|
||||
from the power of the flame.
|
||||
This is not a coal for warming themselves,
|
||||
or a fire to sit beside!
|
||||
|
||||
15. This is what they are to you--
|
||||
15 This is what they are to you—
|
||||
those who have wearied you
|
||||
and have traded with you from your youth--
|
||||
and have traded with you from your youth—
|
||||
each wanders on his own way;
|
||||
no one can save you.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
no one can save you.
