²⁰ Thou art not united with them in burial, For thy land thou hast destroyed, Thy people thou hast slain, Not named to the age is the seed of evil doers.

¹⁹ He hath no continuator, Nor successor among his people, And none is remaining in his dwellings.

¹⁰ Their fruit from earth Thou destroyest, And their seed from the sons of men.

¹⁶ From beneath his roots are dried up, And from above cut off is his crop.

²⁸ For Jehovah is loving judgment, And He doth not forsake His saintly ones, To the age they have been kept, And the seed of the wicked is cut off.

¹³ His posterity is for cutting off, In another generation is their name blotted out.

⁸ O daughter of Babylon, O destroyed one, O the happiness of him who repayeth to thee thy deed, That thou hast done to us.

⁹ O the happiness of him who doth seize, And hath dashed thy sucklings on the rock!

⁴ Ah, sinning nation, a people heavy `with' iniquity, A seed of evil doers, sons -- corrupters! They have forsaken Jehovah, They have despised the Holy One of Israel, They have gone away backward.

¹⁵ Every one who is found is thrust through, And every one who is added falleth by sword.

¹⁶ And their sucklings are dashed to pieces before their eyes, Spoiled are their houses, and their wives lain with.

¹⁷ Lo, I am stirring up against them the Medes, Who silver esteem not, And gold -- they delight not in it.

¹⁸ And bows dash young men to pieces, And the fruit of the womb they pity not, On sons their eye hath no pity.

¹⁹ And Babylon, the beauty of kingdoms, The glory, the excellency of the Chaldeans, Hath been as overthrown by God, With Sodom and with Gomorrah.
