10 The Chaldeans will become plunder,
    and all who plunder them will get more than enough,”
        declares the Lord.

11 “Though you rejoice, though you exult,
    you plunderers of my inheritance,
though you skip around like a heifer in the grass[a]
    and neigh like stallions,
12 your mother will be greatly devastated,
    she who gave birth to you will be ashamed.
She will become the least of the nations,
    a wilderness, a dry land, and a desert.
