“‘How you have perished,
    you who were inhabited from the seas,
O city renowned,
    ^(B)who was mighty on the sea;
she and her inhabitants ^(C)imposed their terror
    on all her inhabitants!

“You were the signet of perfection,^{[a]
    (D)}full of wisdom and ^(E)perfect in beauty.

“You consider yourself ^(D)a lion of the nations,
    but you are like ^(E)a dragon ^(F)in the seas;
^(G)you burst forth in your rivers,
    trouble the waters with your feet,
    and foul their rivers.

^29 (A)“‘Cut off your hair and cast it away;
    raise a lamentation on ^(B)the bare heights,
for the Lord has rejected and forsaken
    the generation of his wrath.’
