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.

    and she who bore you shall be disgraced.
She shall be the last of the nations,
    a wilderness, dry land, and a desert.(B)
13 Because of the wrath of the Lord, she shall not be inhabited
    but shall be an utter desolation;
everyone who passes by Babylon shall be appalled
    and hiss because of all her wounds.(C)
