Come down, and sit in the dust, O virgin daughter of Babylon; sit on the ground without a throne, O daughter of the Chaldeans: for thou shalt no more be called tender and delicate.

Come and take your seat in the dust, O virgin daughter of Babylon; come down from your seat of power, and take your place on the earth, O daughter of the Chaldaeans: for you will never again seem soft and delicate.

Καταβα και καθησον επι του χωματος, παρθενε θυγατηρ της Βαβυλωνος· καθησον κατα γης· θρονος πλεον δεν ειναι, θυγατηρ των Χαλδαιων· διοτι δεν θελεις πλεον ονομασθη απαλη και τρυφερα.

Come down, and sit in the dust, O virgin daughter of Babylon, sit on the ground: there is no throne, O daughter of the Chaldeans: for thou shalt no more be called tender and delicate.
