10 So Babylonia[a] will be plundered;
    all who plunder her will have their fill,’
declares the Lord.

11 ‘Because you rejoice and are glad,
    you who pillage my inheritance,
because you frolic like a heifer threshing corn
    and neigh like stallions,
12 your mother will be greatly ashamed;
    she who gave you birth will be disgraced.
She will be the least of the nations –
    a wilderness, a dry land, a desert.
