11 “Because you are glad,
    because you rejoice,
O you who plunder my heritage,
    because you are wanton as a heifer that treads out the grain,
    and neigh as strong horses;
12 your mother will be utterly disappointed.
    She who bore you will be confounded.
Behold, she will be the least of the nations,
    a wilderness, a dry land, and a desert.
13 Because of Yahweh’s wrath she won’t be inhabited,
    but she will be wholly desolate.
Everyone who goes by Babylon will be astonished,
    and hiss at all her plagues.
