An object of perpetual hissing;
Everyone who passes by it will be astonished
And shake his head.

But she will be completely desolate;

And will hiss because of all her wounds.

Shall hiss

“Babylon will become a heap of ruins, a haunt of jackals,
An object of horror and hissing, without inhabitants.

And this house will become

a heap of ruins; everyone who passes by will be astonished and hiss and say, ‘Why has the Lord done thus to this land and to this house?’

then I will uproot you from My land which I have given you, and this house which I have consecrated for My name I will cast out of My sight and I will make it a proverb and a byword among all peoples.

All who pass along the way

Clap their hands in derision at you;

They hiss and shake their heads
At the daughter of Jerusalem,
“Is this the city of which they said,
‘The perfection of beauty,

A joy to all the earth’?”

“The statutes of Omri
And all the works of the house of Ahab are observed;
And in their devices you walk.
Therefore I will give you up for destruction
And your inhabitants for derision,
And you will bear the reproach of My people.”

This is the exultant city
Which dwells securely,
Who says in her heart,
“I am, and there is no one besides me.”
How she has become a desolation,
A resting place for beasts!

Everyone who passes by her will hiss

And wave his hand in contempt.
