Isaiah 47:1-7

Isaiah 47:1-7 CSB

“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. Take millstones and grind flour;  remove your veil, strip off your skirt, bare your thigh, wade through the streams. Your nakedness will be uncovered, and your disgrace will be exposed.  I will take vengeance; I will spare no one.”  The Holy One of Israel is our Redeemer;  The LORD of Armies is his name. “Daughter Chaldea, sit in silence  and go into darkness. For you will no longer be called mistress of kingdoms. I 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. You said, ‘I will be the queen forever.’ You did not take these things to heart or think about their outcome.
