11. “Because you were glad, because you rejoiced,You destroyers of My heritage,Because you have grown fat like a heifer threshing grain,And you bellow like bulls,
12. Your mother shall be deeply ashamed;She who bore you shall be ashamed.Behold, the least of the nations shall be a wilderness,A dry land and a desert.
13. Because of the wrath of the LordShe shall not be inhabited,But she shall be wholly desolate.Everyone who goes by Babylon shall be horrifiedAnd hiss at all her plagues.
14. “Put yourselves in array against Babylon all around,All you who bend the bow;Shoot at her, spare no arrows,For she has sinned against the Lord.
15. Shout against her all around;She has given her hand,Her foundations have fallen,Her walls are thrown down;For it is the vengeance of the Lord.Take vengeance on her.As she has done, so do to her.
