Chapter 47
Isai LITV 47:1  Go down and sit on the dust, O virgin daughter of Babylon; sit on the earth; a throne is not to the daughter of the Chaldeans; for they shall not again call you tender and delicate.
Isai LITV 47:2  Take millstones and grind meal; uncover your veil; strip off the skirt; uncover the leg; pass over rivers.
Isai LITV 47:3  Your nakedness shall be uncovered; yea, your shame shall be seen. I will take vengeance and I will not meet a man.
Isai LITV 47:4  Our Redeemer; Jehovah of Hosts is His name, the Holy One of Israel.
Isai LITV 47:5  Sit in silence, and go into darkness, O daughter of the Chaldeans, for they shall no more call you the mistress of kingdoms.
Isai LITV 47:6  I was angry with My people; I defiled My inheritance and gave them into your hand. You gave them no mercy; you made your yoke on the aged very heavy.
Isai LITV 47:7  And you said, I shall be a mistress forever, until you did not set these things on your heart, and not did remember its end.
Isai LITV 47:8  Now, then, hear this, O pleasure seeker, who lives carelessly; who says in her heart, I am , and none else is ; I shall not sit as a widow, nor shall I know the loss of children.
Isai LITV 47:9  But these two things shall suddenly come to you, in one day: loss of children, and widowhood; as complete they come on you, for your many sorceries, for the multitude of your great spells.
Isai LITV 47:10  For you trusted in your evil; you said, No one sees me. Your wisdom and your knowledge perverts you, and you said in your heart, I am and none else is .
Isai LITV 47:11  For this, evil shall come on you; you shall not know its origin. And mischief shall fall on you; you shall not be able to cover it. And ruin shall come on you suddenly, you shall not know.
Isai LITV 47:12  Stand now among your spells, and with your many sorceries, in which you have wearied yourself since your youth. Perhaps you will be able to profit; perhaps may cause quaking.
Isai LITV 47:13  You are exhausted by your many plans; let those dividing the heavens stand up now and save you, the stargazers, making known what is coming on you into the new moons.
Isai LITV 47:14  Behold, they are as stubble; the fire burns them; they shall not save their soul from the flame's hand; there is no coal to warm them; nor fire, to sit before it.
Isai LITV 47:15  So they are to you with whom you have labored, your traders from your youth; each one wanders to his own way; no one saves you.
