Isaiah 47
1 Go down - and sit on [the] dust O virgin of [the] daughter of Babylon sit to the ground there not [is] a throne O daughter of [the] Chaldeans for not you will repeat people will call you tender and delicate.
Come down, and sit in the dust, O virgin daughter of Babylon, sit on the ground: [there is] no throne, O daughter of the Chaldeans: for thou shalt no more be called tender and delicate.
2 Take a hand-mill and grind flour uncover veil your strip off a skirt uncover a leg pass through rivers.
Take the millstones, and grind meal: uncover thy locks, make bare the leg, uncover the thigh, pass over the rivers.
3 Let it be uncovered nakedness your also let it be visible reproach your vengeance I will take and not I will meet anyone.
Thy nakedness shall be uncovered, yea, thy shame shall be seen: I will take vengeance, and I will not meet [thee as] a man.
4 Redeemer our [is] Yahweh of hosts name his [the] holy [one] of Israel.
[As for] our redeemer, the LORD of hosts [is] his name, the Holy One of Israel.
5 Sit silently and go in darkness O daughter of [the] Chaldeans for not you will repeat people will call you queen of kingdoms.
Sit thou silent, and get thee into darkness, O daughter of the Chaldeans: for thou shalt no more be called, The lady of kingdoms.
6 I was angry towards people my I profaned inheritance my and I gave them in hand your not you appointed to them compassion on [the] old you made heavy yoke your exceedingly.
I was wroth with my people, I have polluted mine inheritance, and given them into thine hand: thou didst shew them no mercy; upon the ancient hast thou very heavily laid thy yoke.
7 And you said for ever I will be a queen until not you put these [things] on heart your not you remembered outcome its.
And thou saidst, I shall be a lady for ever: [so] that thou didst not lay these [things] to thy heart, neither didst remember the latter end of it.
8 And therefore listen to this O voluptuous [woman] who dwells to security who says in heart her I and only I [am] yet not I will live a widow and not I will know childlessness.
Therefore hear now this, [thou that art] given to pleasures, that dwellest carelessly, that sayest in thine heart, I [am], and none else beside me; I shall not sit [as] a widow, neither shall I know the loss of children:
9 So they may come to you both of these [things] a moment in a day one childlessness and widowhood according to completeness their they will come on you in [the] abundance of sorceries your in [the] power of spells your very many.
But these two [things] shall come to thee in a moment in one day, the loss of children, and widowhood: they shall come upon thee in their perfection for the multitude of thy sorceries, [and] for the great abundance of thine enchantments.
10 And you trusted in evil your you said there not [is one who] sees me wisdom your and knowledge your it it has led away you and you said in heart your I and only I [am] yet.
For thou hast trusted in thy wickedness: thou hast said, None seeth me. Thy wisdom and thy knowledge, it hath perverted thee; and thou hast said in thine heart, I [am], and none else beside me.
11 And it will come on you calamity not you will know to charm away it and it may fall on you disaster not you will be able to cover it and it may come on you suddenly ruin [which] not you will know.
Therefore shall evil come upon thee; thou shalt not know from whence it riseth: and mischief shall fall upon thee; thou shalt not be able to put it off: and desolation shall come upon thee suddenly, [which] thou shalt not know.
12 Stand please in spells your and in [the] abundance of sorceries your in which you have labored since youth your perhaps you will be able to profit perhaps you will inspire awe.
Stand now with thine enchantments, and with the multitude of thy sorceries, wherein thou hast laboured from thy youth; if so be thou shalt be able to profit, if so be thou mayest prevail.
13 You have become weary with [the] abundance of counsels your let them stand please and let them deliver you ([those who] divide *QK) [the] heavens those [who] look on the stars [those who] make known to the new moons from [the things] which they will come on you.
Thou art wearied in the multitude of thy counsels. Let now the astrologers, the stargazers, the monthly prognosticators, stand up, and save thee from [these things] that shall come upon thee.
14 There! they have become like chaff a fire it has burned them not they will deliver self their from [the] hand of [the] flame there not [will be] coal to warm them a fire to sit before it.
Behold, they shall be as stubble; the fire shall burn them; they shall not deliver themselves from the power of the flame: [there shall] not [be] a coal to warm at, [nor] fire to sit before it.
15 Thus they have become for you [those] whom you have labored traders your since youth your everyone to side his they have wandered there not [is] a deliverer for you.
Thus shall they be unto thee with whom thou hast laboured, [even] thy merchants, from thy youth: they shall wander every one to his quarter; none shall save thee.
