Context of Isaiah 47:4
2Use heavy stones to make grain into flour. Take the veil off your face. Lift up your skirt. Walk through streams of water with bare legs. 3Stand there with your body completely bare! Everybody will see your great shame. I will punish you for your sins, and nobody will escape.’ This is what the Lord Almighty says. He is our Redeemer, Israel's Holy God. 5‘You city of the Babylonians, sit there quietly! Go and hide in a dark place. People will no longer call you the queen of all kingdoms. 6I was angry with my own people. They belonged to me as my special people, but I punished them like ordinary people. I gave you the power to hurt them, and you were not kind to them. You were very cruel to old people.
