1 DESCIENDE, y siéntate en el polvo, virgen hija de Babilonia, siéntate en la tierra sin trono, hija de los Caldeos: que nunca más te llamarán tierna y delicada.

2 Toma el molino, y muele harina: descubre tus guedejas, descalza los pies, descubre las piernas, pasa los ríos.

3 Descubierta será tu vergüenza, y tu deshonor será visto: tomaré venganza, y no encontraré hombre.

4 Nuestro Redentor, Jehová de los ejércitos es su nombre, el Santo de Israel.
