1. Come down, and sit in the dust, O virgin daughter of Babylon; sit on the ground, without a throne, O daughter of the Chaldeans; for thou shalt no longer be called tender and delicate.
2. Take the millstones and grind meal; uncover thy locks, remove the shoes from thy feet, uncover the thigh, pass over the rivers.
3. Thy nakedness shall be uncovered and thy shame shall be seen; I will take vengeance, and I will not help any man.
4. As for our redeemer, the Lord of the hosts is his name, the Holy One of Israel.
5. Sit, be silent, and go into darkness, O daughter of the Chaldeans; for thou shalt no longer be called, The lady of kingdoms.
