Your mother shall be sore confounded; she that bare you shall be ashamed: behold, the hindermost of the nations shall be a wilderness, a dry land, and a desert.

The verse 12 is found in chapter 50 of Jeremiah. Babylon, the instrument previously used to discipline Judah, now receives a lengthy oracle of judgment. Israel and Judah will be sought and will return together to Zion, while Babylon’s sins lead to its downfall. The reversal is central: the empire that appeared permanent becomes an object of judgment.

Eure Mutter besteht mit großer Schande, und die euch geboren hat, ist zum Spott geworden; siehe, unter den Heiden ist sie die geringste, wüst, dürr und öde.
Vuestra madre se avergonzó mucho, afrentose la que os engendró; he aquí será la postrera de las gentes: desierto, sequedad, y páramo.
su madre será profundamente avergonzada; será humillada la que los dio a luz. Será la última de las naciones: un desierto, un sequedal y una llanura desolada.
Votre mère est couverte de confusion, Celle qui vous a enfantés rougit de honte; Voici, elle est la dernière des nations, C'est un désert, une terre sèche et aride.
La madre vostra è grandemente confusa; quella che vi ha partoriti è svergognata; ecco, è l’ultima delle nazioni, un deserto, un luogo arido, ed una solitudine.
Será mui confundida vossa mãe, ficará envergonhada a que vos deu à luz; eis que ela será a última das nações, um deserto, uma terra seca e uma solidão.
你們的母親極其抱愧, 生你們的必然蒙羞。 看哪,她要列在諸國之末, 成為曠野、旱地、沙漠;
