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(A) you were glad, because you rejoiced,
You destroyers of My heritage,
Because you have grown fat (B)like a heifer threshing grain,
And you [a]bellow like bulls,
12 Your mother shall be deeply ashamed;
She who bore you shall be ashamed.
Behold, the least of the nations shall be a (C)wilderness,
A dry land and a desert.
13 Because of the wrath of the Lord
She shall not be inhabited,
(D)But she shall be wholly desolate.
(E)Everyone who goes by Babylon shall be horrified
And hiss at all her plagues.
