10 Chalde′a shall be plundered; all who plunder her shall be sated, says the Lord.

11 “Though you rejoice, though you exult,
    O plunderers of my heritage,
though you are wanton as a heifer at grass,
    and neigh like stallions,
12 your mother shall be utterly shamed,
    and she who bore you shall be disgraced.
Lo, she shall be the last of the nations,
    a wilderness dry and desert.

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

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)
