Those who were slain will fall in the land of the Chaldeans,
those who were pierced through, in her streets.

They stopped asking, “Where is the Lord
who brought us from the land of Egypt,
who led us through the wilderness,
through a land of deserts and ravines,
through a land of drought and darkness,
a land no one traveled through
and where no one lived?”

Woe for the one who builds his palace
through unrighteousness,
his upper rooms through injustice,
who makes his fellow man serve without pay
and will not give him his wages,

Through their dreams that they tell one another, they plan to cause My people to forget My name as their fathers forgot My name through Baal worship.
