Isaiah 47:1-5

1“Come down, virgin daughter of Babylon, and sit in the dust. For your days of sitting on a throne have ended. O daughter of Babylonia, never again will you be the lovely princess, tender and delicate.

2Take heavy millstones and grind flour. Remove your veil, and strip off your robe. Expose yourself to public view.

3You will be naked and burdened with shame. I will take vengeance against you without pity.”

4Our Redeemer, whose name is the Lord of Heaven’s Armies, is the Holy One of Israel.

5“O beautiful Babylon, sit now in darkness and silence. Never again will you be known as the queen of kingdoms.
