* »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 you will no longer be called tender and delicate . * »Take the millstones and grind meal . Remove your veil , strip off the skirt ; uncover the leg and cross the rivers . * »Your nakedness will be uncovered and your shame will be exposed . I will take vengeance . I will not spare a man .« * Our Redeemer , Jehovah of Hosts is His name , The Holy One of Israel . * »Sit silently and go into darkness , O daughter of the Chaldeans . You will no longer be called the queen of kingdoms . * »I was angry with my people . I profaned my heritage and gave them into your hand . You did not show mercy to them . You made your yoke very heavy on the aged . * »‘You said : ‘I will be a queen for a very long time !’ You did not consider these things or remember their outcome . * »Hear this you sensual one ! You dwell securely and say in your heart : ‘I am , and there is no one besides me . I will not sit as a widow . I will not lose children .’ (Revelation strkjv @18:2-8 ) * »Two things will come on you suddenly in one day : Loss of children and widowhood . They will come on you in full measure in spite of your abundance of sorceries , in spite of the great power of your spells . * »You felt sure of yourself in your evil . You thought that no one could see you . Your wisdom and knowledge led you astray . Then you said to yourself : ‘I am God ! There is no one else like me .’ * »Disaster will come upon you , and none of your magic can stop it . Ruin will come on you suddenly , ruin you never dreamed of ! * Keep all your magic spells and charms . You have used them since you were young . Perhaps they will be of some help to you . Perhaps you can frighten your enemies . * »You are powerless in spite of the advice you get . Let your astrologers come forward and save you ! Let those people who study the stars , who map out the zones of the heavens tell you from month to month what is going to happen to you . * »Surely they are like stubble . The fire will burn them up . They cannot even save themselves from the power of the flame . Here are no coals to warm anyone and no fire to sit by . * »That is all they can do for you , these you have labored with and trafficked with since childhood . Each of them goes on in his error . No one can save you .
