因此，我滿腰疼痛，痛苦抓住我，好像產婦的痛苦一樣；我絞痛彎腰至聽不見，我驚惶至看不到。我的心迷糊，驚恐威嚇著我；我所愛慕的黃昏，竟使我戰兢。他們擺設筵席，鋪張地氈，又吃又喝。領袖們，起來吧！用油抹淨盾牌。

她怎樣炫耀自己，怎樣奢華揮霍，你們也要怎樣給她痛苦悲哀。因為她心裡常常說：‘我坐著作女王，我不是寡婦，決不會看見悲哀。’因此，在一日之內她的災難必然來到，就是死亡、悲哀和饑荒；她還要在火中被燒掉，因為審判她的主神是大有能力的。

驛卒一個接一個跑來，報信的也相繼而至，向巴比倫王報告，他的京城已經完全被攻取了。渡口已經被佔據了，生滿蘆葦的沼澤也被火燒了，軍兵都驚慌失措。”因為萬軍之耶和華以色列的神這樣說：“巴比倫城（“城”原文作“女子”）好像正被踹平的禾場，再過片時，她被收割的時候就到了。”以色列人說：“巴比倫王尼布甲尼撒吞滅了我們，使我們十分混亂，又使我們成為空的器皿；他像怪獸把我們吞下，他的肚塞滿了我們的美物，他卻把我們吐出去。”錫安的居民要說：“願巴比倫以強暴待我們（“我們”或譯：“我和我骨肉之親”）的罪歸到巴比倫身上。”耶路撒冷要說：“願流我血的罪歸到迦勒底的居民身上。”因此，耶和華這樣說：“看哪！我必為你的案件申訴，為你報仇；我必使巴比倫的河水枯竭，使它們的水源乾涸。巴比倫必變成亂堆，成為野狗的巢穴，成為令人驚駭和嗤笑的對象，沒有人居住。巴比倫人必像少壯獅子一起吼叫，又像幼獅咆哮。他們食慾大動的時候，我必為他們擺設筵席，使他們喝醉，狂歡亂叫，然後永遠沉睡，不再醒來（這是耶和華的宣告）。
