⁸ Daughter Babylon, doomed to destruction,^(A)
    happy is the one who repays you
    according to what you have done to us.

⁹ Happy is the one who seizes your infants
    and dashes them^(A) against the rocks.

¹⁰ Because of the violence^(A) against your brother Jacob,^(B)
    you will be covered with shame;
    you will be destroyed forever.^(C)
11 On the day you stood aloof
    while strangers carried off his wealth
and foreigners entered his gates
    and cast lots^(D) for Jerusalem,
    you were like one of them.^(E)
12 You should not gloat^(F) over your brother
    in the day of his misfortune,^(G)
nor rejoice^(H) over the people of Judah
    in the day of their destruction,^(I)
nor boast^(J) so much
    in the day of their trouble.^(K)
13 You should not march through the gates of my people
    in the day of their disaster,
nor gloat over them in their calamity^(L)
    in the day of their disaster,
nor seize their wealth
    in the day of their disaster.
¹⁴ You should not wait at the crossroads
    to cut down their fugitives,^(M)
nor hand over their survivors
    in the day of their trouble.

¹⁵ “The day of the Lord is near^(N)
    for all nations.
As you have done, it will be done to you;
    your deeds^(O) will return upon your own head.
¹⁶ Just as you drank^(P) on my holy hill,^(Q)
    so all the nations will drink^(R) continually;
they will drink and drink
    and be as if they had never been.^(S)
