1 Fall down! Sit in the dirt, O virgin daughter Babylon! Sit on the ground, not on a throne, O daughter of the Babylonians! Indeed, you will no longer be called delicate and pampered. 2 Pick up millstones and grind flour! Remove your veil, strip off your skirt, expose your legs, cross the streams! 3 Let your private parts be exposed! Your genitals will be on display! I will get revenge; I will not have pity on anyone,| 4 says our protector--the LORD who commands armies is his name, the Holy One of Israel. 5 Sit silently! Go to a hiding place, O daughter of the Babylonians! Indeed, you will no longer be called 'Queen of kingdoms.' Isaiah 47:1-5, New English Translation. Copyright © 1996-2017 by Biblical Studies Press.
