Isaiah 47

1“Go downH3381 and sitH3427 inH5921 the dustH6083, O VirginH1330 DaughterH1323 of BabylonH894. SitH3427 on the groundH776 withoutH369 a throneH3678, O DaughterH1323 of the ChaldeansH3778!1 ForH3588 you will noH3808 longerH3254 be calledH7121 tenderH7390 or delicateH6028.2TakeH3947 millstonesH7347 and grindH2912 flourH7058; removeH1540 your veilH6777; strip offH2834 your skirtH7640, bareH1540 your thighH7785, and wade throughH5674 the streamsH5104.3Your nakednessH6172 will be uncoveredH1540 andH1571 your shameH2781 will be exposedH7200. I will takeH3947 vengeanceH5359; I will spareH6293 noH3808 oneH120.”

4Our RedeemerH1350—the LORDH3068 of HostsH6635 is His nameH8034—is the Holy OneH6918 of IsraelH3478.

5“SitH3427 in silenceH1748 and goH935 into darknessH2822,O DaughterH1323 of the ChaldeansH3778.ForH3588 you will noH3808 longerH3254 be calledH7121the queenH1404 of kingdomsH4467.6I was angryH7107 withH5921 My peopleH5971;I profanedH2490 My heritageH5159,and I placed themH5414 under your controlH3027.You showed themH7760 noH3808 mercyH7356;even onH5921 the elderlyH2205 you laid a most heavy yokeH5923 H3966 H3513.7You saidH559, ‘I will beH1961 queenH1404 foreverH5769 .’You did notH3808 takeH7760 theseH428 things toH5921 heartH3820 H3808or considerH2142 their outcomeH319.

8So nowH6258 hearH8085 thisH2063,O lover of luxuryH5719 who sits securelyH3427 H983,who saysH559 to herselfH3824,‘IH589 am, and there is noneH657 besides meH5750.I will neverH3808 H3427 be a widowH490 H3808or knowH3045 the loss of childrenH7908.’9TheseH428 twoH8147 things will overtakeH935 you in a momentH7281,in a singleH259 dayH3117:loss of childrenH7908, and widowhoodH489.They will comeH935 upon youH5921 in full measureH8537,in spite of your manyH7230 sorceriesH3785and the potencyH6109 of your spellsH2267 H3966.10You were secureH982 in your wickednessH7451;you saidH559, ‘NoH369 one sees meH7200.’Your wisdomH2451 and knowledgeH1847 H1931 led you astrayH7725;you toldH559 yourselfH3820, ‘IH589 am, and there is noneH657 besides meH5750.’11But disasterH7451 will comeH935 upon youH5921;you will notH3808 knowH3045 how to charm it awayH7837.A calamityH1943 will befallH5307 youH5921that you will be unableH3808 H3201 to ward offH3722.DevastationH7722 will happenH935 to youH5921suddenlyH6597 and unexpectedlyH3808 H3045.

12So take your standH5975 H4994 with your spellsH2267and with your manyH7230 sorceriesH3785,with whichH834 you have wearied yourselfH3021from your youthH5271.PerhapsH194 you willH3201 succeedH3276;perhapsH194 you will inspire terrorH6206!13You are weariedH3811 by your manyH7230 counselorsH6098;let them come forwardH5975 nowH4994 and save youH3467—your astrologersH1895 H8064 who observeH2372 the starsH3556,who monthlyH2320 predictH3045 your fateH834 H935 H5921.14SurelyH2009 they areH1961 like stubbleH7179;the fireH784 will burn them upH8313.They cannotH3808 deliverH5337 themselvesH5315from the powerH3027 of the flameH3852.There will be noH369 coalsH1513 to warm themH2552or fireH217 to sitH3427 besideH5048.15This is whatH3651 they areH1961 to you—those with whomH834 you have laboredH3021 and tradedH5503 from youthH5271—each oneH376 straysH8582 in his own directionH5676;not one of themH369 can save youH3467.
