11 “Because you are glad, because you are jubilant,
You who (A)pillage My heritage,
Because you skip about [a]like a threshing (B)heifer
And neigh like [b]stallions,
12 Your (C)mother [c]will be greatly ashamed,
She who gave you birth [d]will be humiliated.
Behold, she will be the least of the nations,
A (D)wilderness, a dry land and a desert.
13 Because of the wrath of the Lord she will (E)not be inhabited,
But she will be (F)completely desolate;
Everyone who passes by Babylon (G)will be horrified
And will hiss because of all her wounds.
