11 “Because you are glad, because you exult,
O you who (A)plunder My inheritance,
Because you skip about [a]like a threshing (B)heifer
And neigh like [b]valiant steeds,

She who gave you birth [d]will be humiliated.
Behold, she will be the least of the nations,
A (D)wilderness, a parched land, and a desert.
13 Because of the wrath of Yahweh she will (E)not be inhabited,
But she will be (F)completely desolate;
Everyone who passes by Babylon (G)will be in desolation
And will hiss because of all her wounds.
