g sit on the ground without a throne,
O daughter of h the Chaldeans!
i For you shall no more be called

k put off your veil,

pass through the rivers.
3

m Sit in silence, and go into darkness,
O daughter of h the Chaldeans;
for you shall no more be called
n the mistress of kingdoms.
6
o I was angry with my people;
I profaned my heritage;
I gave them into your hand;
p you showed them no mercy;
on the aged you made your yoke exceedingly heavy.
7
You said, "I shall be q mistress forever,"
so that you did not lay these things to heart
or remember their end.
