The Fall of Babylon

47"Go down and sit in the dust, Virgin Daughter Babylon. Sit on the ground without a throne, Daughter Chaldea! For you will no longer be called pampered and spoiled.H3381H3427H6083H1330H1323H894H3427H776H3678H1323H3778H3254H7121H7390H6028 2Take millstones and grind meal; remove your veil, strip off [your] skirt, bare your thigh, wade through the streams.H3947H7347H2912H7058H1540H6777H2834H7640H1540H7785H5674H5104 3Your nakedness will be uncovered, and your shame will be exposed. I will take vengeance; I will spare no one.H6172H1540H2781H7200H3947H5359H6293H120 4The Holy One of Israel is our Redeemer; the LORD of Hosts is His name.H1350H3068H6635H8034H6918H3478 5"Daughter Chaldea, sit in silence and go into darkness. For you will no longer be called mistress of kingdoms.H3427H1748H935H2822H1323H3778H3254H7121H1404H4467 6I was angry with My people; I profaned My possession, and I placed them under your control. You showed them no mercy; you made your yoke very heavy on the elderly.H7107H5971H2490H5159H5414H3027H7760H7356H2205H3966H3513H5923 7You said: I will be the mistress forever. You did not take these things to heart or think about their outcome.H559H1404H5769H7760H3820H2142H319 8"So now hear this, lover of luxury, who sits securely, who says to herself: I, and no one else, will never be a widow or know the loss of children.H8085H5719H3427H983H559H3824H657H3427H490H3045H7908 9These two things will happen to you suddenly, in one day: loss of children and widowhood. They will happen to you in their entirety, in spite of your many sorceries and the potency of your spells.H8147H935H7281H259H3117H7908H489H935H8537H7230H3785H3966H6109H2267 10You were secure in your wickedness; you said: No one sees me. Your wisdom and knowledge led you astray. You said to yourself: I, and no one else.H982H7451H559H7200H2451H1847H7725H559H3820H657 11But disaster will happen to you; you will not know how to avert it. And it will fall on you, but you will be unable to ward it off. Devastation will happen to you suddenly and unexpectedly.H7451H935H3045H7837H1943H5307H3201H3722H7722H935H6597H3045 12So take your stand with your spells and your many sorceries, which you have wearied yourself with from your youth. Perhaps you will be able to succeed; perhaps you will inspire terror!H5975H2267H7230H3785H834H3021H5271H3201H3276H6206 13You are worn out with your many consultations. So let them stand and save you— the astrologers, who observe the stars, who predict monthly what will happen to you.H3811H7230H6098H1895H8064H2374H3556H2320H3045H5975H3467H935 14Look, they are like stubble; fire burns them up. They cannot deliver themselves from the power of the flame. This is not a coal for warming themselves, or a fire to sit beside!H7179H784H8313H5337H5315H3027H3852H1513H2552H217H3427 15This is what they are to you— those who have wearied you and have traded with you from your youth— each wanders on his own way; no one can save you.H3021H5503H5271H8582H376H5676H3467
