MLV(i)
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 you will no more be called tender and delicate.
2 Take the millstones and grind meal. Remove your veil, strip off the train, uncover the leg, pass through the rivers.
3 Your nakedness will be uncovered, yes, your shame will be seen. I will take vengeance and will spare no man.
4 Our Redeemer, Jehovah of hosts is his name, the Holy One of Israel.
5 Sit you silent and get you into darkness, O daughter of the Chaldeans, for you will no more be called The mistress of kingdoms.
