THE ONE who gave you your name will
comfort you.
Great will be the terror of those who
harmed you
and rejoiced over your ill-fortune.
Disaster awaits those cities where your
children were slaves,
wretched the city that received your
offspring.
Just as that city rejoiced at your downfall
and was exultant to witness your ruin,
so shall she grieve over her own devastation.
I shall despoil her of the multitudes in
which she took such joy,
and her insolent pride shall be turned
to mourning.
Fire from THE EVERLASTING will besiege
her for many days,
and demons will inhabit her for a lengthy
period of time.
BARUCH: CHAPTER 4, VERSES 30 - 35
