Isaiah 47:1-7

Lament for Babylon

47“aCome down and sit in the dust,O bvirgin cdaughter of Babylon;Sit on the ground without a throne,O daughter of the Chaldeans!For you shall no longer be called dtender and delicate.2“Take the amillstones and bgrind flour.Uncover your cveil, dstrip off the skirt,Uncover the leg, cross the rivers.3“Your anakedness will be uncovered;Your reproach also will be seen;I will btake vengeance and will not 1spare a man.”4Our aRedeemer, Yahweh of hosts is His name,The Holy One of Israel.5“aSit silently, and go into bdarkness,O daughter of the Chaldeans,For you will no longer be calledThe cqueen of dkingdoms.6“I was furious with My people;I profaned My inheritanceAnd gave them into your hand.You did not show compassion to them,On the aaged you made your yoke very heavy.7“Yet you said, ‘I will be a aqueen forever.’These things you did not bput on your heartNor remember the coutcome of 1them.
