11 “Babylon, you are excited and happy,
    because you took my ·land [L inheritance; C Israel].
You ·dance around [run free] like a young cow ·in the grain [during the threshing; Deut. 25:4].
    ·Your laughter is like the neighing of male horses [L You neigh like a stallion].
12 Your mother will be ·very ashamed [humiliated];
    the woman who gave birth to you will be disgraced.
·Soon Babylonia will be the least important of all [L It brings up the backside of] the nations.
    She will be an empty, dry ·desert [wilderness].
13 Because of the Lord’s anger,
    no one will live there.
    She will be completely ·empty [desolate].
Everyone who passes by Babylon will be shocked.
    They will shake their heads when they see all her injuries.
