Isaiah 47:1-5

The Humiliation of Babylon

1 ^aCome down and sit in the dust,
O virgin ^bdaughter of Babylon;
^csit on the ground without a throne,
O daughter of ^dthe Chaldeans!
^eFor you shall no more be called
tender and delicate.
2 Take the millstones and ^fgrind flour,
^gput off your veil,
strip off your robe, uncover your legs,
pass through the rivers.
3 Your nakedness shall be uncovered,
and your disgrace shall be seen.
I will take vengeance,
and I will spare no one.
4 ^hOur Redeemer—the Lord of hosts is his name—
is the Holy One of Israel.
5 ⁱSit in silence, and go into darkness,
O daughter of ^jthe Chaldeans;
for you shall no more be called
^kthe mistress of kingdoms.
