Isaiah 47:1–4

THE FALL OF BABYLON

47 “Go down and sit in the dust,a

Virgin Daughter Babylon.b

Sit on the ground without a throne,

Daughter Chaldea!

For you will no longer be called pampered and spoiled.

2 Take millstones and grind flour;c

remove your veil,

strip off your skirt, bare your thigh,

wade through the streams.

3 Your nakedness will be uncovered,

and your disgrace will be exposed.d

I will take vengeance;

I will spare no one.”A

4 The Holy One of Israel is our Redeemer;e

The Lord of Armies is his name.
