H3381 [H8798]
Come down
H3427 [H8798]
, and sit
H6083
in the dust
H1330
, O virgin
H1323
daughter
H894
of Babylon
H3427 [H8798]
, sit
H776
on the ground
H3678
: there is no throne
H1323
, O daughter
H3778
of the Chaldeans
H3254 [H8686]
: for thou shalt no more
H7121 [H8799]
be called
H7390
tender
H6028
and delicate.
2
H3947 [H8798]
Take
H7347
the millstones
H2912 [H8798]
, and grind
H7058
meal
H1540 [H8761]
: uncover
H6777
thy locks
H2834 [H8798]
, make bare
H7640
the leg
H1540 [H8761]
, uncover
H7785
the thigh
H5674 [H8798]
, pass over
H5104
the rivers.
3
H6172
Thy nakedness
H1540 [H8735]
shall be uncovered
H2781
, yea, thy shame
H7200 [H8735]
shall be seen
H3947 [H8799]
: I will take
H5359
vengeance
H6293 [H8799]
, and I will not meet
H120
thee as a man.
4
H1350 [H8802]
As for our redeemer
H3068
, the LORD
H6635
of hosts
H8034
is his name
H6918
, the Holy One
H3478
of Israel.
5
H3427 [H8798]
Sit
H1748
thou silent
H935 [H8798]
, and get
H2822
thee into darkness
H1323
, O daughter
H3778
of the Chaldeans
H3254 [H8686]
: for thou shalt no more
H7121 [H8799]
be called
H1404
, The lady
H4467
of kingdoms.
6
H7107 [H8804]
I was angry
H5971
with my people
H2490 [H8765]
, I have polluted
H5159
my inheritance
H5414 [H8799]
, and given
H3027
them into thy hand
H7760 [H8804]
: thou didst show
H7356
them no mercy
H2205
; upon the ancient
H3966
hast thou very
H3513 [H8689]
heavily
H5923
laid thy yoke.
7
H559 [H8799]
And thou saidst
H1404
, I shall be a lady
H5769
for ever
H7760 [H8804]
: so that thou didst not lay
H3820
these things to thy heart
H2142 [H8804]
, neither didst remember
H319
its latter end.
8
H8085 [H8798]
Therefore hear
H5719
now this, thou that art given to pleasures
H3427 [H8802]
, that dwellest
H983
securely
H559 [H8802]
, that sayest
H3824
in thy heart
H657
, I am, and none else
H3427 [H8799]
besides me; I shall not sit
H490
as a widow
H3045 [H8799]
, neither shall I know
H7908
the loss of children:
9
H8147
But these two
H935 [H8799]
things shall come
H7281
to thee in a moment
H259
in one
H3117
day
H7908
, the loss of children
H489
, and widowhood
H935 [H8804]
: they shall come
H8537
upon thee in their perfection
H7230
for the multitude
H3785
of thy sorceries
H3966
, and for the great
H6109
abundance
H2267
of thy enchantments.
10
H982 [H8799]
For thou hast trusted
H7451
in thy wickedness
H559 [H8804]
: thou hast said
H7200 [H8802]
, None seeth
H2451
me. Thy wisdom
H1847
and thy knowledge
H7725 [H8790]
, it hath perverted
H559 [H8799]
thee; and thou hast said
H3820
in thy heart
H657
, I am, and none else besides me.
11
H7451
Therefore shall evil
H935 [H8804]
come
H3045 [H8799]
upon thee; thou shalt not know
H7837
from where it riseth
H1943
: and mischief
H5307 [H8799]
shall fall
H3201 [H8799]
upon thee; thou shalt not be able
H3722 [H8763]
to put it off
H7722
: and desolation
H935 [H8799]
shall come
H6597
upon thee suddenly
H3045 [H8799]
, which thou shalt not know.
12
H5975 [H8798]
Stand
H2267
now with thy enchantments
H7230
, and with the multitude
H3785
of thy sorceries
H834
, in which
H3021 [H8804]
thou hast laboured
H5271
from thy youth
H3201 [H8799]
; if thou shalt be able
H3276 [H8687]
to profit
H6206 [H8799]
, if thou mayest prevail.
13
H3811 [H8738]
Thou art wearied
H7230
in the multitude
H6098
of thy counsels
H1895 H8064 [H8802]
. Let now the astrologers
H2374 H3556
, the stargazers
H2320
, the monthly
H3045 [H8688]
prognosticators
H5975 [H8799]
, stand up
H3467 [H8686]
, and save
H935 [H8799]
thee from these things that shall come upon thee.
