Isaiah 47:1-6 (Revised Standard Version)
View In My Bible
1
Come down and sit in the dust, O virgin daughter of Babylon; sit on the ground without a throne, O daughter of the Chalde'ans! For you shall no more be called tender and delicate.
2
Take the millstones and grind meal, put off 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 man.
4
Our Redeemer--the LORD of hosts is his name--is the Holy One of Israel.
5
Sit in silence, and go into darkness, O daughter of the Chalde'ans; 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.
