47Come down and sit in the dust, O virgin daughter of Babylon; sit on the ground without a throne, O daughter of the Chaldeans! For you shall no more be called tender and delicate.H3381H3427H6083H1330H1323H894H3427H776H3678H1323H3778H3254H7121H7390H60282Take the millstones and grind flour, put off your veil, strip off your robe, uncover your legs, pass through the rivers.H3947H7347H2912H7058H1540H6777H2834H7640H1540H7785H5674H51043Your nakedness shall be uncovered, and your disgrace shall be seen. I will take vengeance, and I will spare no one.H6172H1540H2781H7200H3947H5359H6293H1204Our Redeemer—the LORD of hosts is his name— is the Holy One of Israel.H1350H3068H6635H8034H6918H34785Sit in silence, and go into darkness, O daughter of the Chaldeans; for you shall no more be called the mistress of kingdoms.H3427H1748H935H2822H1323H3778H3254H7121H1404H44676I was angry with my people; I profaned my heritage; I gave them into your hand; you showed them no mercy; on the aged you made your yoke exceedingly heavy.H7107H5971H2490H5159H5414H3027H7760H7356H2205H3966H3513H59237You said, "I shall be mistress forever," so that you did not lay these things to heart or remember their end.H559H1404H5769H7760H3820H2142H3198Now therefore hear this, you lover of pleasures, who sit securely, who say in your heart, "I am, and there is no one besides me; I shall not sit as a widow or know the loss of children":H8085H5719H3427H983H559H3824H657H3427H490H3045H79089These two things shall come to you in a moment, in one day; the loss of children and widowhood shall come upon you in full measure, in spite of your many sorceries and the great power of your enchantments.H8147H935H7281H259H3117H7908H489H935H8537H7230H3785H3966H6109H226710You felt secure in your wickedness, you said, "No one sees me"; your wisdom and your knowledge led you astray, and you said in your heart, "I am, and there is no one besides me."H982H7451H559H7200H2451H1847H7725H559H3820H65711But evil shall come upon you, which you will not know how to charm away; disaster shall fall upon you, for which you will not be able to atone; and ruin shall come upon you suddenly, of which you know nothing.H7451H935H3045H7837H1943H5307H3201H3722H7722H935H6597H304512Stand fast in your enchantments and your many sorceries, with which you have labored from your youth; perhaps you may be able to succeed; perhaps you may inspire terror.H5975H2267H7230H3785H834H3021H5271H3201H3276H620613You are wearied with your many counsels; let them stand forth and save you, those who divide the heavens, who gaze at the stars, who at the new moons make known what shall come upon you.H3811H7230H6098H1895H8064H2374H3556H2320H3045H5975H3467H93514Behold, they are like stubble; the fire consumes them; they cannot deliver themselves from the power of the flame. No coal for warming oneself is this, no fire to sit before!H7179H784H8313H5337H5315H3027H3852H1513H2552H217H342715Such to you are those with whom you have labored, who have done business with you from your youth; they wander about, each in his own direction; there is no one to save you.H3021H5503H5271H8582H376H5676H3467
Prayer Tents is a Christian mission organization that serves Christians around the world and their local bodies to make disciples ("evangelize") more effectively in their communities. Prayer Tents provides resources to enable Christians to form discipleship-focused small groups and make their gatherings known so that other "interested" people may participate and experience Christ in their midst. Our Vision is to make disciples in all nations through the local churches so that anyone seeking God can come to know Him through relationships with other Christians near them.
