ISA-47:1 Come down, and sit in the dust, O virgin daughter of

Babylon, sit on the ground: [there is] no throne, O daughter of

the Chaldeans: for thou shalt no more be called tender and

delicate.

ISA-47:2 Take the millstones, and grind meal: uncover thy locks,

make bare the leg, uncover the thigh, pass over the rivers.

ISA-47:3 Thy nakedness shall be uncovered, yea, thy shame shall

be seen: I will take vengeance, and I will not meet [thee as] a

man.

ISA-47:4 [As for] our redeemer, the LORD of hosts [is] his name,

the Holy One of Israel.

ISA-47:5 Sit thou silent, and get thee into darkness, O daughter

of the Chaldeans: for thou shalt no more be called, The lady of

kingdoms.

ISA-47:6 I was wroth with my people, I have polluted mine

inheritance, and given them into thine hand: thou didst show

them no mercy; upon the ancient hast thou very heavily laid thy

yoke.

ISA-47:7 And thou saidst, I shall be a lady for ever: [so] that

thou didst not lay these [things] to thy heart, neither didst

remember the latter end of it.

ISA-47:8 Therefore hear now this, [thou that art] given to

pleasures, that dwellest carelessly, that sayest in thine heart,

I [am], and none else beside me; I shall not sit [as] a widow,

neither shall I know the loss of children:

ISA-47:9 But these two [things] shall come to thee in a moment

in one day, the loss of children, and widowhood: they shall come

upon thee in their perfection for the multitude of thy sorceries,

 [and] for the great abundance of thine enchantments.

ISA-47:10 For thou hast trusted in thy wickedness: thou hast

said, None seeth me. Thy wisdom and thy knowledge, it hath

perverted thee; and thou hast said in thine heart, I [am], and

none else beside me.

ISA-47:11 Therefore shall evil come upon thee; thou shalt not

know from whence it riseth: and mischief shall fall upon thee;

thou shalt not be able to put it off: and desolation shall come

upon thee suddenly, [which] thou shalt not know.

ISA-47:12 Stand now with thine enchantments, and with the

multitude of thy sorceries, wherein thou hast laboured from thy

youth; if so be thou shalt be able to profit, if so be thou

mayest prevail.

ISA-47:13 Thou art wearied in the multitude of thy counsels. Let

now the astrologers, the stargazers, the monthly prognosticators,

 stand up, and save thee from [these things] that shall come

upon thee.

ISA-47:14 Behold, they shall be as stubble; the fire shall burn

them; they shall not deliver themselves from the power of the

flame: [there shall] not [be] a coal to warm at, [nor] fire to

sit before it.

ISA-47:15 Thus shall they be unto thee with whom thou hast

laboured, [even] thy merchants, from thy youth: they shall

wander every one to his quarter; none shall save thee.
