1. Come down, sit in the dust,virgin daughter Babylon;Sit on the ground, dethroned,daughter of the Chaldeans.No longer shall you be calleddainty and delicate.
2. Take the millstone and grind flour,remove your veil;Strip off your skirt, bare your legs,cross through the streams.
3. Your nakedness shall be uncovered,and your shame be seen;I will take vengeance,I will yield to no entreaty,says
4. our redeemer,Whose name is the Lord of hosts,the Holy One of Israel.
5. Go into darkness and sit in silence,daughter of the Chaldeans,No longer shall you be calledsovereign mistress of kingdoms.
