1. Come down and sit in the dust, virgin-daughter of Babylon! Sit on the ground, -- there is no throne, O daughter of the Chaldeans; for thou shalt no more be called tender and delicate.
2. Take the millstones, and grind meal; remove thy veil, lift up the train, uncover the leg, pass over rivers:
3. thy nakedness shall be uncovered, yea, thy shame shall be seen. I will take vengeance, and I will meet none to stay me. ...
4. Our Redeemer, Jehovah of hosts is his name, the Holy One of Israel. ...
5. Sit silent, and get thee into darkness, daughter of the Chaldeans; for thou shalt no more be called, Mistress of kingdoms.
