1 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 you shall no more be called tender and delicate. 2 Take the millstone and grind flour; remove your veil, cut off your white hair, uncover your legs, pass through the rivers. 3 Your nakedness shall be uncovered, yea, your shame shall be seen; I will execute vengeance upon you, and I will not meet you as a man. 4 As for our Saviour, the LORD of hosts is his name, the Holy One of Israel. 5 Sit silent and go into darkness, O daughter of the Chaldeans; for you shall no more be called, The mightiest of kingdoms. Isaiah 47:1-5, Lamsa Bible. Public domain.
