Lament for Babylon

  1 “aCome° down° and sit° in the dust°,
  O bvirgin° cdaughter° of Babylon°;
  Sit° on the ground° without° a throne°,
  O daughter° of the Chaldeans°!
  For you shall no° longer° be called° dtender° and delicate°.
  2 “Take° the amillstones° and bgrind° meal°.
  Remove° your cveil°, dstrip° off° the skirt°,
  Uncover° the leg°, cross° the rivers°.
  3 “Your anakedness° will be uncovered°,
  Your shame° also° will be exposed°;
  I will btake° vengeance° and will not Ispare° a man°.”
  4 Our aRedeemer°, the LORD° of hosts° is His name°,
  The Holy° One° of Israel°.
  5 “aSit° silently°, and go° into bdarkness°,
  O daughter° of the Chaldeans°,
  For you will no° longer° be called°
  The cqueen° of dkingdoms°.
  6 “I was angry° with My people°,
  I profaned° My heritage°
  And gave° them into your hand°.
  You did not show° mercy° to them,
  On the aaged° you made° your yoke° very° heavy°.
  7 “Yet you said°, ‘I will be a aqueen° forever°°.’
  These° things° you did not bconsider°°°
  Nor° remember° the coutcome° of Ithem.

God's judgment upon Babylon and Chaldea,

1 ¶ Come down,º ª and sitº ª in² the dust,º O virginº daughterº of Babylon,º sitº ª on the ground:º [there is] no² throne,º O daughterº of the Chaldeans:º for² thou shalt no² moreº ª be calledº ª tenderº and delicate.º 2 Takeº ª the millstones,º and grindº ª meal:º uncoverº ª thy locks,º make bareº ª the leg,º uncoverº ª the thigh,º pass overº ª the rivers.º 3 Thy nakednessº shall be uncovered,º ª yea,² thy shameº shall be seen:º ª I will takeº ª vengeance,º and I will not² meetº ª [thee as] a man.º 4 [As for] our redeemer,º ª the LORDº of hostsº [is] his name,º the Holy Oneº of Israel.º 5 Sitº ª thou silent,º and getº ª thee into darkness,º O daughterº of the Chaldeans:º for² thou shalt no² moreº ª be called,º ª The ladyº of kingdoms.º
