Isaiah 47:1

Daughter Babylon dethroned

1 Go down and sit in the dust, virgin Daughter Babylon! Sit on the ground without a throne, Daughter Chaldea, because they will no longer call you tender and pampered.

Isaiah 47:1 In-Context

1 Go down and sit in the dust, virgin Daughter Babylon! Sit on the ground without a throne, Daughter Chaldea, because they will no longer call you tender and pampered.
2 Take the millstones and grind flour! Remove your veil, strip off your robe, expose your thighs, wade through the rivers!
3 Your nakedness will be exposed, and your disgrace will be seen. I will take vengeance; no one will intervene.
4 Our redeemer has spoken; the LORD of heavenly forces is his name, the holy one of Israel.
5 Sit silent and go into darkness, Daughter Chaldea, because they will no longer call you Queen of Kingdoms.
