# Isaiah 47 (New King James Version)
|
|
The Humiliation of Babylon
|
|
|
|
##### Chapter 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 more be called
|
|
Tender and delicate.
|
|
|
|
###### 2 Take the millstones and grind meal.
|
|
Remove your veil,
|
|
Take off the skirt,
|
|
Uncover the thigh,
|
|
Pass through the rivers.
|
|
|
|
###### 3 Your nakedness shall be uncovered,
|
|
Yes, your shame will be seen;
|
|
I will take vengeance,
|
|
And I will not arbitrate with a man."
|
|
|
|
###### 4 _As for_ our Redeemer, the Lord of hosts _is_ His name,
|
|
The Holy One of Israel.
|
|
|
|
###### 5 "Sit in silence, and go into darkness,
|
|
O daughter of the Chaldeans;
|
|
For you shall no longer be called
|
|
The Lady of Kingdoms.
|
|
|
|
###### 6 I was angry with My people;
|
|
I have profaned My inheritance,
|
|
And given them into your hand.
|
|
You showed them no mercy;
|
|
On the elderly you laid your yoke very heavily.
|
|
|
|
###### 7 And you said, 'I shall be a lady forever,'
|
|
_So_ that you did not take these _things_ to heart,
|
|
Nor remember the latter end of them.
|
|
|
|
###### 8 "Therefore hear this now, _you who are_ given to pleasures,
|
|
Who dwell securely,
|
|
Who say in your heart, 'I _am,_ and _there is_ no one else besides me;
|
|
I shall not sit _as_ a widow,
|
|
Nor shall I know the loss of children';
|
|
|
|
###### 9 But these two _things_ shall come to you
|
|
In a moment, in one day:
|
|
The loss of children, and widowhood.
|
|
They shall come upon you in their fullness
|
|
Because of the multitude of your sorceries,
|
|
For the great abundance of your enchantments.
|
|
|
|
###### 10 "For you have trusted in your wickedness;
|
|
You have said, 'No one sees me';
|
|
Your wisdom and your knowledge have warped you;
|
|
And you have said in your heart,
|
|
'I _am,_ and _there is_ no one else besides me.'
|
|
|
|
###### 11 Therefore evil shall come upon you;
|
|
You shall not know from where it arises.
|
|
And trouble shall fall upon you;
|
|
You will not be able to put it off.
|
|
And desolation shall come upon you suddenly,
|
|
_Which_ you shall not know.
|
|
|
|
###### 12 "Stand now with your enchantments
|
|
And the multitude of your sorceries,
|
|
In which you have labored from your youth--
|
|
Perhaps you will be able to profit,
|
|
Perhaps you will prevail.
|
|
|
|
###### 13 You are wearied in the multitude of your counsels;
|
|
Let now the astrologers, the stargazers,
|
|
_And_ the monthly prognosticators
|
|
Stand up and save you
|
|
From what shall come upon you.
|
|
|
|
###### 14 Behold, they shall be as stubble,
|
|
The fire shall burn them;
|
|
They shall not deliver themselves
|
|
From the power of the flame;
|
|
_It shall_ not _be_ a coal to be warmed by,
|
|
_Nor_ a fire to sit before!
|
|
|
|
###### 15 Thus shall they be to you
|
|
With whom you have labored,
|
|
Your merchants from your youth;
|
|
They shall wander each one to his quarter.
|
|
No one shall save you.
