Isaiah 47:1-7

New Revised Standard NRS

1 Come down and sit in the dust, virgin daughter Babylon! Sit on the ground without a throne, daughter Chaldea! For you shall no more be called tender and delicate.

2 Take the millstones and grind meal, remove your veil, strip off your robe, uncover your legs, pass through the rivers.

3 Your nakedness shall be uncovered, and your shame shall be seen. I will take vengeance, and I will spare no one.

4 Our Redeemer—the Lord of hosts is his name— is the Holy One of Israel.

5 Sit in silence, and go into darkness, daughter Chaldea! For you shall no more be called the mistress of kingdoms.

6 I was angry with my people, I profaned my heritage; I gave them into your hand, you showed them no mercy; on the aged you made your yoke exceedingly heavy.

7 You said, "I shall be mistress forever," so that you did not lay these things to heart or remember their end.
