Isaiah  


47 : 1 Come down and sit in the dust, O virgin daughter of Babylon; Sit on the ground without a throne, O daughter of the Chaldeans! For you shall no longer be called tender and delicate.
47 : 2 Take the millstones and grind meal Remove your veil, strip off the skirt, Uncover the leg, cross the rivers.
47 : 3 Your nakedness will be uncovered, Your shame also will be exposed; I will take vengeance and will not spare a man.
47 : 4 Our Redeemer, the LORD of hosts is His name, The Holy One of Israel.
47 : 5 Sit silently, and go into darkness, O daughter of the Chaldeans, For you will no longer be called The queen of kingdoms.
47 : 6 I was angry with My people, I profaned My heritage And gave them into your hand. You did not show mercy to them, On the aged you made your yoke very heavy.
47 : 7 Yet you said, `I will be a queen forever ` These things you did not consider Nor remember the outcome of them.
47 : 8 Now, then, hear this, you sensual one, Who dwells securely, Who says in your heart, `I am, and there is no one besides me I will not sit as a widow, Nor know loss of children.`
47 : 9 But these two things will come on you suddenly in one day: Loss of children and widowhood They will come on you in full measure In spite of your many sorceries, In spite of the great power of your spells.
47 : 10 You felt secure in your wickedness and said, `No one sees me,` Your wisdom and your knowledge, they have deluded you; For you have said in your heart, `I am, and there is no one besides me.`
47 : 11 But evil will come on you Which you will not know how to charm away; And disaster will fall on you For which you cannot atone; And destruction about which you do not know Will come on you suddenly.
47 : 12 Stand fast now in your spells And in your many sorceries With which you have labored from your youth; Perhaps you will be able to profit, Perhaps you may cause trembling.
47 : 13 You are wearied with your many counsels; Let now the astrologers, Those who prophesy by the stars, Those who predict by the new moons, Stand up and save you from what will come upon you.
47 : 14 Behold, they have become like stubble, Fire burns them; They cannot deliver themselves from the power of the flame; There will be no coal to warm by Nor a fire to sit before!
47 : 15 So have those become to you with whom you have labored, Who have trafficked with you from your youth; Each has wandered in his own way; There is none to save you.
