11 Because you rejoice,
because you sing in triumph—
you who plundered My inheritance—
because you frolic like a young cow treading grain
and neigh like stallions,(A)
12 your mother will be utterly humiliated;
she who bore you will be put to shame.
Look! She will lag behind all[a] the nations—
a dry land, a wilderness,(B) an Arabah.
13 Because of the Lord’s wrath,
she will not be inhabited;
she will become a desolation, every bit of her.
Everyone who passes through Babylon
will be horrified
and scoff because of all her wounds.(C)
