Isaiah 47:1-6

1“Go down and sit in the dust, Virgin Daughter Babylon. Sit on the ground without a throne, Daughter Chaldea! For you will no longer be called pampered and spoiled.

2Take millstones and grind flour; remove your veil, strip off your skirt, bare your thigh, wade through the streams.

3Your nakedness will be uncovered, and your disgrace will be exposed. I will take vengeance; I will spare no one.”

4The Holy One of Israel is our Redeemer; The Lord of Armies is his name.

5“Daughter Chaldea, sit in silence and go into darkness. For you will no longer be called mistress of kingdoms.

6I was angry with my people; I profaned my possession, and I handed them over to you. You showed them no mercy; you made your yoke very heavy on the elderly.
