Isaiah 47

1Come down and sit in the dust, virgin daughter of Babylon; 2Take the millstone and grind flour; remove your veil, 3Your nakedness will be uncovered, yes, your shame will be seen: 4Our Redeemer, Yahweh of hosts is his name, the Holy One of Israel. 5Sit in silence and go into darkness, daughter of the Chaldeans; 6I was angry with my people; I defiled my heritage 7You said, “I will rule forever as sovereign queen.” 8So now hear this, you who love pleasure and sit securely; 9But these two things will come to you in a moment in one day: 10You have trusted in your wickedness; you have said, “No one sees me”; 11Disaster will overcome you; you will not be able to drive it away with your incantations. 12Persist in casting your spells and your many sorceries 13You are tired out with your many consultations; let those men stand up 14See, they will become like stubble. The fire will burn them up.
