10 Chaldea will be plundered,
    and all who plunder her will be sated,
    says the Lord.
11 O you who plundered my heritage,
    although you rejoice and exult,
although you playfully frolic
    like heifers on the grass
    and neigh like stallions,
12 your mother[a] will be cruelly put to shame;
    she who bore you will be completely disgraced.
She is now the least of the nations,
    a desert, a parched land, a wilderness.

    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)
