Lament for Babylon

47"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 you shall no longer be called tender and delicate.H3381H3427H6083H1330H1323H894H3427H776H3678H1323H3778H3254H7121H7390H6028 2"Take the millstones and grind meal. Remove your veil, strip off the skirt, Uncover the leg, cross the rivers.H3947H7347H2912H7058H1540H6777H2834H7640H1540H7785H5674H5104 3"Your nakedness will be uncovered, Your shame also will be exposed; I will take vengeance and will not spare a man."H6172H1540H2781H7200H3947H5359H6293H120 4Our Redeemer, the LORD of hosts is His name, The Holy One of Israel.H1350H3068H6635H8034H6918H3478 5"Sit silently, and go into darkness, O daughter of the Chaldeans; For you will no more be called The queen of kingdoms.H3427H1748H935H2822H1323H3778H3254H7121H1404H4467 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 aged you made your yoke very heavy.H7107H5971H2490H5159H5414H3027H7760H7356H2205H3966H3513H5923 7"Yet you said, 'I shall be a queen forever.' These things you did not consider, Nor remember the outcome of them.H559H1404H5769H7760H3820H2142H319 8"Now, then, hear this, you sensual one, Who dwells securely, Who says in your heart, 'I am, and there is no one besides me. I shall not sit as a widow, Nor shall I know loss of children.'H8085H5719H3427H983H559H3824H657H3427H490H3045H7908 9"But these two things shall come on you suddenly in one day: Loss of children and widowhood. They shall come on you in full measure In spite of your many sorceries, In spite of the great power of your spells.H8147H935H7281H259H3117H7908H489H935H8537H7230H3785H3966H6109H2267 10"And you felt secure in your wickedness and said, 'No one sees me,' Your wisdom and your knowledge, they have deluded you; For you have said in your heart,' I am, and there is no one besides me. 'H982H7451H559H7200H2451H1847H7725H559H3820H657 11"But evil will come on you Which you will not know how to charm away; And disaster will fall on you For which you cannot atone, And destruction about which you do not know Will come on you suddenly.H7451H935H3045H7837H1943H5307H3201H3722H7722H935H6597H3045 12"Stand [fast] now in your spells And in your many sorceries With which you have labored from your youth; Perhaps you will be able to profit, Perhaps you may cause trembling.H5975H2267H7230H3785H834H3021H5271H3201H3276H6206 13"You are wearied with your many counsels; Let now the astrologers, Those who prophesy by the stars, Those who predict by the new moons, Stand up and save you from what will come upon you.H3811H7230H6098H1895H8064H2374H3556H2320H3045H5975H3467H935 14"Behold, they have become like stubble, Fire burns them; They cannot deliver themselves from the power of the flame; There will be no coal to warm by, [Nor] a fire to sit before!H7179H784H8313H5337H5315H3027H3852H1513H2552H217H3427 15"So have those become to you with whom you have labored, Who have trafficked with you from your youth; Each has wandered in his own way. There is none to save you.H3021H5503H5271H8582H376H5676H3467
