47COME DOWN, and sit in the dust, O Virgin Daughter of Babylon; sit on the ground [in abject humiliation]; there is no throne for you, O Daughter of the Chaldeans, for you shall no longer be called dainty and delicate.H3381H3427H6083H1330H1323H894H3427H776H3678H1323H3778H3254H7121H7390H6028 2Take the millstones [like the poorest female slave of the household does] and grind meal; take off your veil {and} uncover your hair. Remove your skirt, bare your leg, wade through the rivers [at the command of your captors].H3947H7347H2912H7058H1540H6777H2834H7640H1540H7785H5674H5104 3Your nakedness shall be exposed, and your shame shall be seen. I will take vengeance, and I will spare no man [none I encounter will be able to resist Me],H6172H1540H2781H7200H3947H5359H6293H120 4[Says] our Redeemer--the Lord of hosts is His name--the Holy One of Israel.H1350H3068H6635H8034H6918H3478 5Sit in silence and go into darkness, O Daughter of the Chaldeans; for you shall no more be called the lady {and} mistress of kingdoms.H3427H1748H935H2822H1323H3778H3254H7121H1404H4467 6I was angry with My people, I profaned My inheritance [Judah]; and I gave them into your hand [Babylon]. You showed them no mercy; upon the old people you made your yoke very heavy.H7107H5971H2490H5159H5414H3027H7760H7356H2205H3966H3513H5923 7And you said, I shall be the mistress forever! So you did not lay these things to heart, nor did you [seriously] remember the certain, ultimate end of such conduct.H559H1404H5769H7760H3820H2142H319 8Therefore now, hear this, you who love pleasures {and} are given over to them, you who dwell safely {and} sit securely, who say in your mind, I am [the mistress] 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: loss of children and widowhood. They shall come upon you in full measure, in spite of the multitude of [your claims to] power given you by the assistance of evil spirits, in spite of the great abundance of your enchantments.H8147H935H7281H259H3117H7908H489H935H8537H7230H3785H3966H6109H2267 10For you [Babylon] have trusted in your wickedness; you have said, No one sees me. Your wisdom and your knowledge led you astray, and you said in your heart {and} mind, I am, and there is no one besides me.H982H7451H559H7200H2451H1847H7725H559H3820H657 11Therefore shall evil come upon you; you shall not know the dawning of it {or} how to charm it away. And a disaster {and} evil shall fall upon you that you shall not be able to atone for [with all your offerings to your gods]; and desolation shall come upon you suddenly, about which you shall know nothing {or} how to avert it.H7451H935H3045H7837H1943H5307H3201H3722H7722H935H6597H3045 12Persist, then, with your enchantments and the multitude of your sorceries [Babylon], in which you have labored from your youth; and see if perhaps you will be able to profit, if you will prevail {and} strike terror!H5975H2267H7230H3785H834H3021H5271H3201H3276H6206 13You are wearied with your many counsels {and} plans. Let now the astrologers, the stargazers, and the monthly prognosticators stand up and make known to you {and} save you from the things that shall come upon you [Babylon].H3811H7230H6098H1895H8064H2374H3556H2320H3045H5975H3467H935 14Behold, they are like stubble; the fire consumes them. They cannot even deliver themselves from the power of the flame [much less deliver the nation]. There is no coal for warming {or} fire before which to sit!H7179H784H8313H5337H5315H3027H3852H1513H2552H217H3427 15Such to you shall they [the astrologers and their kind] be, those with whom you have labored {and} such their fate, those who have done business with you from your youth; they will wander, every one to his own quarter {and} in his own direction. No one will save you.H3021H5503H5271H8582H376H5676H3467
