The Book of Isaiah 47

47 “Come down and sit in the dust,

virgin daughter of Babylon;

sit on the ground without a throne,

daughter of the Chaldeans,

for no longer will they call you

dainty and delicate.

2 Take the millstone and grind flour;

remove your veil, strip off your train.

Uncover your legs, cross the streams.

3 Your nakedness will be uncovered;

yes, your shame will be seen:

I shall take vengeance

and not spare a man.”

4 Our Redeemer, Yahweh of hosts is his name,

the Holy One of Israel.

5 “Sit silently and go into darkness,

daughter of the Chaldeans;

for you will no longer be called

mistress of kingdoms.

6 I was angry with my people;

I defiled my inheritance

and gave them into your hand.

You showed them no mercy;

on the old you weighed down your great yoke.

7 And you said, “I shall forever be mistress.”

Yet you did not take these to your heart,

did not remember its end.

8 “And now, hear this, overindulged,

who dwell in confidence,

who say in your heart,

‘It is I, and none else;

I will not sit as a widow,

and I will not know bereavement.’

9 But these two things will come to you

in a moment, in one day:

bereavement and widowhood.

As their fullness they will come on you

despite the abundance of your sorceries,

despite the great power of your spells.

10 But you trusted in your wickedness;

you said, ‘No one sees me;’

your wisdom and your knowledge,

this led you astray,

but you say in your heart, ‘It is I and none else.’

11 And disaster will come on you;

you will not know its dawn.

And ruin will fall on you;

you will not be able to avert it.

And desolation will come on you suddenly,

you not knowing.

12 “Stay, please, with your spells

and with the abundance of your sorceries

for which you have striven from your youth,

perhaps you will be successful,

perhaps you will terrify.

13 You are tired out with the abundance of your counsel;

please, let them stand up and save you,

those charters of the heavens, those seers of the stars,

declaring by month what is to come on you.

14 Behold, they will become like stubble;

the fire will burn them up.

They will not rescue their souls from the hand of the flame.

There are no coals to warm them

or light to sit by!

15 Thus they have become for you, with whom you labored,

your merchants from your youth,

each man wandering in his direction;

there is no rescuer.”
