10 Chaldea will become plunder;
    all who destroy her will be satisfied,
    says the Lord.

11 Because you were glad, because you rejoiced,
    O you destroyers of My heritage,
because you have grown fat as the heifer at the grass,
    and bellow as bulls,
12 your mother will be sorely humiliated;
    she who bore you will be ashamed.
She will be the least of the nations,
    a wilderness, a dry land, and a desert.

11 “Because you rejoice and are glad,
    you who pillage my inheritance,(B)
because you frolic like a heifer(C) threshing grain
    and neigh like stallions,
12 your mother will be greatly ashamed;
    she who gave you birth will be disgraced.(D)
She will be the least of the nations—
    a wilderness, a dry land, a desert.(E)
