3Your nakedness shall be uncovered, yes, your shame shall be seen: I will take vengeance, and will spare no man.
4Our Redeemer, Yahweh of hosts is his name, the Holy One of Israel.
5Sit you silent, and get you into darkness, daughter of the Chaldeans; for you shall no more be called The mistress of kingdoms.
6I was angry with my people, I profaned my inheritance, and gave them into your hand: you did show them no mercy; on the aged have you very heavily laid your yoke.
7You said, I shall be mistress forever; so that you did not lay these things to your heart, neither did remember the latter end of it.
8Now therefore hear this, you who are given to pleasures, who sit securely, who say in your heart, I am, and there is none else besides me; I shall not sit as a widow, neither shall I know the loss of children:
9but these two things shall come to you in a moment in one day, the loss of children, and widowhood; in their full measure shall they come on you, in the multitude of your sorceries, and the great abundance of your enchantments.
