1	Come down# , and sit# in the dust, O virgin daughter of Babylon, sit# on the ground: there is no throne, O daughter of the Chaldeans: for thou shalt no more# be called# tender and delicate.
			2	Take# the millstones, and grind# meal: uncover# thy locks, make bare# the leg, uncover# the thigh, pass over# the rivers.
			3	Thy nakedness shall be uncovered# , yea, thy shame shall be seen# : I will take# vengeance, and I will not meet# thee as a man.
			4	As for our redeemer# , the LORD of hosts is his name, the Holy One of Israel.
			5	Sit# thou silent, and get# thee into darkness, O daughter of the Chaldeans: for thou shalt no more# be called# , The lady of kingdoms.
			6	I was wroth# with my people, I have polluted# mine inheritance, and given# them into thine hand: thou didst shew# them no mercy; upon the ancient hast thou very heavily# laid thy yoke.
			7	And thou saidst# , I shall be a lady for ever: so that thou didst not lay# these things to thy heart, neither didst remember# the latter end of it.
			8	Therefore hear# now this, thou that art given to pleasures, that dwellest# carelessly, that sayest# in thine heart, I am , and none else beside me; I shall not sit# as a widow, neither shall I know# the loss of children:
			9	But these two things shall come# to thee in a moment in one day, the loss of children, and widowhood: they shall come# upon thee in their perfection for the multitude of thy sorceries, and for the great abundance of thine enchantments.
			10	For thou hast trusted# in thy wickedness: thou hast said# , None seeth# me. Thy wisdom and thy knowledge, it hath perverted# thee; and thou hast said# in thine heart, I am , and none else beside me. [perverted...: or, caused thee to turn away]
			11	Therefore shall evil come# upon thee; thou shalt not know# from whence it riseth: and mischief shall fall# upon thee; thou shalt not be able# to put it off# : and desolation shall come# upon thee suddenly, which thou shalt not know# . [from...: Heb. the morning thereof] [put: Heb. expiate]
			12	Stand# now with thine enchantments, and with the multitude of thy sorceries, wherein thou hast laboured# from thy youth; if so be thou shalt be able# to profit# , if so be thou mayest prevail# .
			13	Thou art wearied# in the multitude of thy counsels. Let now the astrologers# # , the stargazers# , the monthly prognosticators# , stand up# , and save# thee from these things that shall come# upon thee. [astrologers: Heb. viewers of the heavens] [the monthly...: Heb. that give knowledge concerning the months]
			14	Behold, they shall be as stubble; the fire shall burn# them; they shall not deliver# themselves from the power of the flame: there shall not be a coal to warm# at, nor fire to sit# before it. [themselves: Heb. their souls]
			15	Thus shall they be unto thee with whom thou hast laboured# , even thy merchants# , from thy youth: they shall wander# every one to his quarter; none shall save# thee.
