rsv@Isaiah:47:1 @ Come down and sit in the dust, O virgin daughter of Babylon; sit on the ground without a throne, O daughter of the Chalde'ans! For you shall no more be called tender and delicate.
rsv@Isaiah:47:2 @ Take the millstones and grind meal, put off your veil, strip off your robe, uncover your legs, pass through the rivers.
rsv@Isaiah:47:3 @ Your nakedness shall be uncovered, and your shame shall be seen. I will take vengeance, and I will spare no man.
rsv@Isaiah:47:4 @ Our Redeemer-- the LORD of hosts is his name-- is the Holy One of Israel.
rsv@Isaiah:47:5 @ Sit in silence, and go into darkness, O daughter of the Chalde'ans; for you shall no more be called the mistress of kingdoms.
rsv@Isaiah:47:6 @ I was angry with my people, I profaned my heritage; I gave them into your hand, you showed them no mercy; on the aged you made your yoke exceedingly heavy.
rsv@Isaiah:47:7 @ You said, "I shall be mistress for ever," so that you did not lay these things to heart or remember their end.
rsv@Isaiah:47:8 @ Now therefore hear this, you lover of pleasures, who sit securely, who say in your heart, "I am, and there is no one besides me; I shall not sit as a widow or know the loss of children":
rsv@Isaiah:47:9 @ These two things shall come to you in a moment, in one day; the loss of children and widowhood shall come upon you in full measure, in spite of your many sorceries and the great power of your enchantments.
rsv@Isaiah:47:10 @ You felt secure in your wickedness, you said, "No one sees me"; your wisdom and your knowledge led you astray, and you said in your heart, "I am, and there is no one besides me."
rsv@Isaiah:47:11 @ But evil shall come upon you, for which you cannot atone; disaster shall fall upon you, which you will not be able to expiate; and ruin shall come on you suddenly, of which you know nothing.
rsv@Isaiah:47:12 @ Stand fast in your enchantments and your many sorceries, with which you have labored from your youth; perhaps you may be able to succeed, perhaps you may inspire terror.
rsv@Isaiah:47:13 @ You are wearied with your many counsels; let them stand forth and save you, those who divide the heavens, who gaze at the stars, who at the new moons predict what shall befall you.
rsv@Isaiah:47:14 @ Behold, they are like stubble, the fire consumes them; they cannot deliver themselves from the power of the flame. No coal for warming oneself is this, no fire to sit before!
rsv@Isaiah:47:15 @ Such to you are those with whom you have labored, who have trafficked with you from your youth; they wander about each in his own direction; there is no one to save you.
