Isaiah 47
Today's New International Version Help
47"Go down, sit in the dust, Virgin Daughter Babylon; sit on the ground without a throne, queen city of the Babylonians. No more will you be called tender or delicate.H3381H3427H6083H1330H1323H894H3427H776H3678H1323H3778H3254H7121H7390H6028
2Take millstones and grind flour; take off your veil. Lift up your skirts, bare your legs, and wade through the streams.H3947H7347H2912H7058H1540H6777H2834H7640H1540H7785H5674H5104
3Your nakedness will be exposed and your shame uncovered. I will take vengeance; I will spare no one."H6172H1540H2781H7200H3947H5359H6293H120
4Our Redeemer—the LORD Almighty is his name—is the Holy One of Israel.H1350H3068H6635H8034H6918H3478
5"Sit in silence, go into darkness, queen city of the Babylonians; no more will you be called queen of kingdoms.H3427H1748H935H2822H1323H3778H3254H7121H1404H4467
6I was angry with my people and desecrated my inheritance; I gave them into your hand, and you showed them no mercy. Even on the aged you laid a very heavy yoke.H7107H5971H2490H5159H5414H3027H7760H7356H2205H3966H3513H5923
7You said, 'I am forever—the eternal queen!' But you did not consider these things or reflect on what might happen.H559H1404H5769H7760H3820H2142H319
8"Now then, listen, you lover of pleasure, lounging in your security and saying to yourself, 'I am, and there is none besides me. I will never be a widow or suffer the loss of children.'H8085H5719H3427H983H559H3824H657H3427H490H3045H7908
9Both of these will overtake you in a moment, on a single day: loss of children and widowhood. They will come upon you in full measure, in spite of your many sorceries and all your potent spells.H8147H935H7281H259H3117H7908H489H935H8537H7230H3785H3966H6109H2267
10You have trusted in your wickedness and have said, 'No one sees me.' Your wisdom and knowledge mislead you when you say to yourself, 'I am, and there is none besides me.'H982H7451H559H7200H2451H1847H7725H559H3820H657
11Disaster will come upon you, and you will not know how to conjure it away. A calamity will fall upon you that you cannot ward off with a ransom; a catastrophe you cannot foresee will suddenly come upon you.H7451H935H3045H7837H1943H5307H3201H3722H7722H935H6597H3045
12"Keep on, then, with your magic spells and with your many sorceries, which you have labored at since childhood. Perhaps you will succeed, perhaps you will cause terror.H5975H2267H7230H3785H834H3021H5271H3201H3276H6206
13All the counsel you have received has only worn you out! Let your astrologers come forward, those stargazers who make predictions month by month, let them save you from what is coming upon you.H3811H7230H6098H1895H8064H2374H3556H2320H3045H5975H3467H935
14Surely they are like stubble; the fire will burn them up. They cannot even save themselves from the power of the flame. Here are no coals to warm anyone; here is no fire to sit by.H7179H784H8313H5337H5315H3027H3852H1513H2552H217H3427
15That is all they can do for you—these you have dealt with and labored with since childhood. All of them go on in their error; there is not one that can save you.H3021H5503H5271H8582H376H5676H3467
