Isaiah 47 Come down , and sit in the dust , O virgin daughter of Babylon , sit on the ground : there is no throne , O daughter of the Chaldeans : for thou shalt no more be called tender and delicate.

1 H3381 Come down [H8798] H3427 , and sit [H8798] H6083 in the dust H1330 , O virgin H1323 daughter H894 of Babylon H3427 , sit [H8798] H776 on the ground H3678 : there is no throne H1323 , O daughter H3778 of the Chaldeans H3254 : for thou shalt no more [H8686] H7121 be called [H8799] H7390 tender H6028 and delicate.

2 H3947 Take [H8798] H7347 the millstones H2912 , and grind [H8798] H7058 meal H1540 : uncover [H8761] H6777 thy locks H2834 , make bare [H8798] H7640 the leg H1540 , uncover [H8761] H7785 the thigh H5674 , pass over [H8798] H5104 the rivers.

3 H6172 Thy nakedness H1540 shall be uncovered [H8735] H2781 , yea, thy shame H7200 shall be seen [H8735] H3947 : I will take [H8799] H5359 vengeance H6293 , and I will not meet [H8799] H120 thee as a man.

4 H1350 As for our redeemer [H8802] H3068 , the LORD H6635 of hosts H8034 is his name H6918 , the Holy One H3478 of Israel.

5 H3427 Sit [H8798] H1748 thou silent H935 , and get [H8798] H2822 thee into darkness H1323 , O daughter H3778 of the Chaldeans H3254 : for thou shalt no more [H8686] H7121 be called [H8799] H1404 , The lady H4467 of kingdoms.

6 H7107 I was wroth [H8804] H5971 with my people H2490 , I have polluted [H8765] H5159 mine inheritance H5414 , and given [H8799] H3027 them into thine hand H7760 : thou didst shew [H8804] H7356 them no mercy H2205 ; upon the ancient H3966 hast thou very H3513 heavily [H8689] H5923 laid thy yoke.

7 H559 And thou saidst [H8799] H1404 , I shall be a lady H5769 for ever H7760 : so that thou didst not lay [H8804] H3820 these things to thy heart H2142 , neither didst remember [H8804] H319 the latter end of it.

8 H8085 Therefore hear [H8798] H5719 now this, thou that art given to pleasures H3427 , that dwellest [H8802] H983 carelessly H559 , that sayest [H8802] H3824 in thine heart H657 , I am, and none else H3427 beside me; I shall not sit [H8799] H490 as a widow H3045 , neither shall I know [H8799] H7908 the loss of children:

9 H8147 But these two H935 things shall come [H8799] H7281 to thee in a moment H259 in one H3117 day H7908 , the loss of children H489 , and widowhood H935 : they shall come [H8804] H8537 upon thee in their perfection H7230 for the multitude H3785 of thy sorceries H3966 , and for the great H6109 abundance H2267 of thine enchantments.

10 H982 For thou hast trusted [H8799] H7451 in thy wickedness H559 : thou hast said [H8804] H7200 , None seeth [H8802] H2451 me. Thy wisdom H1847 and thy knowledge H7725 , it hath perverted [H8790] H559 thee; and thou hast said [H8799] H3820 in thine heart H657 , I am, and none else beside me.

11 H7451 Therefore shall evil H935 come [H8804] H3045 upon thee; thou shalt not know [H8799] H7837 from whence it riseth H1943 : and mischief H5307 shall fall [H8799] H3201 upon thee; thou shalt not be able [H8799] H3722 to put it off [H8763] H7722 : and desolation H935 shall come [H8799] H6597 upon thee suddenly H3045 , which thou shalt not know [H8799] .

12 H5975 Stand [H8798] H2267 now with thine enchantments H7230 , and with the multitude H3785 of thy sorceries H834 , wherein H3021 thou hast laboured [H8804] H5271 from thy youth H3201 ; if so be thou shalt be able [H8799] H3276 to profit [H8687] H6206 , if so be thou mayest prevail [H8799] .

13 H3811 Thou art wearied [H8738] H7230 in the multitude H6098 of thy counsels H1895 . Let now the astrologers [H8802] H8064 H2374 , the stargazers H3556 H2320 , the monthly H3045 prognosticators [H8688] H5975 , stand up [H8799] H3467 , and save [H8686] H935 thee from these things that shall come [H8799] upon thee.

14 H7179 Behold, they shall be as stubble H784 ; the fire H8313 shall burn [H8804] H5337 them; they shall not deliver [H8686] H5315 themselves H3027 from the power H3852 of the flame H1513 : there shall not be a coal H2552 to warm [H8800] H217 at, nor fire H3427 to sit [H8800] before it.

15 H3021 Thus shall they be unto thee with whom thou hast laboured [H8804] H5503 , even thy merchants [H8802] H5271 , from thy youth H8582 : they shall wander [H8804] H376 every one H5676 to his quarter H3467 ; none shall save [H8688] thee.

ERV⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ 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 thou shalt no more be called tender and delicate. ² Take the millstones, and grind meal: remove thy veil, strip off the train, uncover the leg, pass through the rivers. ³ Thy nakedness shall be uncovered, yea, thy shame shall be seen: I will take vengeance, and will accept no man. ⁴ Our redeemer, the LORD of hosts is his name, the Holy One of Israel. ⁵ Sit thou silent, and get thee into darkness, O daughter of the Chaldeans: for thou shalt no more be called The lady of kingdoms. ⁶ I was wroth with my people, I profaned mine inheritance, and gave them into thine hand: thou didst shew them no mercy; upon the aged hast thou very heavily laid thy yoke. ⁷ And thou saidst, I shall be a lady for ever: so that thou didst not lay these things to thy heart, neither didst remember the latter end thereof. ⁸ Now therefore hear this, thou that art given to pleasures, that dwellest carelessly, that sayest in thine heart, I am, and there is none else beside me; I shall not sit as a widow, neither shall I know the loss of children: ⁹ but these two things shall come to thee in a moment in one day, the loss of children, and widowhood: in their full measure shall they come upon thee, despite of the multitude of thy sorceries, and the great abundance of thine enchantments. ¹⁰ For thou hast trusted in thy wickedness; thou hast said, None seeth me; thy wisdom and thy knowledge, it hath perverted thee: and thou hast said in thine heart, I am, and there is none else beside me. ¹¹ Therefore shall evil come upon thee; thou shalt not know the dawning thereof: and mischief shall fall upon thee; thou shalt not be able to put it away: and desolation shall come upon thee suddenly, which thou knowest not. ¹² Stand now with thine enchantments, and with the multitude of thy sorceries, wherein thou hast laboured from thy youth; if so be thou shalt be able to profit, if so be thou mayest prevail. ¹³ Thou art wearied in the multitude of thy counsels: let now the astrologers, the stargazers, the monthly prognosticators, stand up, and save thee from the things that shall come upon thee. ¹⁴ Behold, 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 warm at, nor a fire to sit before. ¹⁵ Thus shall the things be unto thee wherein thou hast laboured: they that have trafficked with thee from thy youth shall wander every one to his quarter; there shall be none to save thee.
