The Humiliation of Babylon

47"Come 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.H3381H3427H6083H1330H1323H894H3427H776H3678H1323H3778H3254H7121H7390H6028 2Take the millstones and grind meal. Remove your veil, Take off the skirt, Uncover the thigh, Pass through the rivers.H3947H7347H2912H7058H1540H6777H2834H7640H1540H7785H5674H5104 3Your nakedness shall be uncovered, Yes, your shame will be seen; I will take vengeance, And I will not arbitrate with a man."H6172H1540H2781H7200H3947H5359H6293H120 4As for our Redeemer, the LORD of hosts is His name, The Holy One of Israel.H1350H3068H6635H8034H6918H3478 5"Sit in silence, and go into darkness, O daughter of the Chaldeans; For you shall no longer be called The Lady of Kingdoms.H3427H1748H935H2822H1323H3778H3254H7121H1404H4467 6I was angry with My people; I have profaned My inheritance, And given them into your hand. You showed them no mercy; On the elderly you laid your yoke very heavily.H7107H5971H2490H5159H5414H3027H7760H7356H2205H3966H3513H5923 7And you said, 'I shall be a lady forever,' So that you did not take these things to heart, Nor remember the latter end of them.H559H1404H5769H7760H3820H2142H319 8"Therefore hear this now, you who are given to pleasures, Who dwell securely, Who say in your heart, 'I am, and there is no one else besides me; I shall not sit as a widow, Nor shall I know the loss of children';H8085H5719H3427H983H559H3824H657H3427H490H3045H7908 9But these two things shall come to you In a moment, in one day: The loss of children, and widowhood. They shall come upon you in their fullness Because of the multitude of your sorceries, For the great abundance of your enchantments.H8147H935H7281H259H3117H7908H489H935H8537H7230H3785H3966H6109H2267 10"For you have trusted in your wickedness; You have said, 'No one sees me'; Your wisdom and your knowledge have warped you; And you have said in your heart, 'I am, and there is no one else besides me.'H982H7451H559H7200H2451H1847H7725H559H3820H657 11Therefore evil shall come upon you; You shall not know from where it arises. And trouble shall fall upon you; You will not be able to put it off. And desolation shall come upon you suddenly, Which you shall not know.H7451H935H3045H7837H1943H5307H3201H3722H7722H935H6597H3045 12"Stand now with your enchantments And the multitude of your sorceries, In which you have labored from your youth—Perhaps you will be able to profit, Perhaps you will prevail.H5975H2267H7230H3785H834H3021H5271H3201H3276H6206 13You are wearied in the multitude of your counsels; Let now the astrologers, the stargazers, And the monthly prognosticators Stand up and save you From what shall come upon you.H3811H7230H6098H1895H8064H2374H3556H2320H3045H5975H3467H935 14Behold, they shall be as stubble, The fire shall burn them; They shall not deliver themselves From the power of the flame; It shall not be a coal to be warmed by, Nor a fire to sit before!H7179H784H8313H5337H5315H3027H3852H1513H2552H217H3427 15Thus shall they be to you With whom you have labored, Your merchants from your youth; They shall wander each one to his quarter. No one shall save you.H3021H5503H5271H8582H376H5676H3467
