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.

11 Because you were glad, because you rejoiced,
    O you destroyers of My heritage,
because you have grown fat as the heifer at the grass,
    and bellow as bulls,
12 your mother will be sorely humiliated;
    she who bore you will be ashamed.
She will be the least of the nations,
    a wilderness, a dry land, and a desert.
13 Because of the wrath of the Lord she will not be inhabited,
    but shall be wholly desolate.
Everyone who goes by Babylon will be astonished
    and hiss at all her wounds.
