ylt @Isaiah:47:1 @Come down , and sit on the dust , O virgin daughter of Babylon , Sit on the earth , there is no throne , O daughter of the Chaldeans , For no more do they cry to thee , 'O tender and delicate one .' ylt @Isaiah:47:2 @Take millstones , and grind flour , Remove thy veil , draw up the skirt , Uncover the leg , pass over the floods . ylt @Isaiah:47:3 @Revealed is thy nakedness , yea , seen is thy reproach , Vengeance I take , and I meet not a man . ylt @Isaiah:47:4 @Our redeemer [is ] Jehovah of Hosts , His name [is ] the Holy One of Israel . ylt @Isaiah:47:5 @Sit silent , and go into darkness , O daughter of the Chaldeans , For no more do they cry to thee , 'Mistress of kingdoms .' ylt @Isaiah:47:6 @I have been wroth against My people , I have polluted Mine inheritance And I give them into thy hand , Thou hast not appointed for them mercies , On the aged thou hast made thy yoke very heavy , ylt @Isaiah:47:7 @And thou sayest , 'To the age I am mistress ,' While thou hast not laid these things to thy heart , Thou hast not remembered the latter end of it . ylt @Isaiah:47:8 @And now , hear this , O luxurious one , Who is sitting confidently -- Who is saying in her heart , 'I [am ], and none else , I sit not a widow , nor know bereavement .' ylt @Isaiah:47:9 @And come in to thee do these two things , In a moment , in one day , childlessness and widowhood , According to their perfection they have come upon thee , In the multitude of thy sorceries , In the exceeding might of thy charms . ylt @Isaiah:47:10 @And thou art confident in thy wickedness , Thou hast said , 'There is none seeing me ,' Thy wisdom and thy knowledge , It is turning thee back , And thou sayest in thy heart , 'I [am ], and none else .' ylt @Isaiah:47:11 @And come in on thee hath evil , Thou knowest not its rising , And fall on thee doth mischief , Thou art not able to pacify it , And come on thee suddenly doth desolation , Thou knowest not . ylt @Isaiah:47:12 @Stand , I pray thee , in thy charms , And in the multitude of thy sorceries , In which thou hast laboured from thy youth , It may be thou art able to profit , It may be thou dost terrify ! ylt @Isaiah:47:13 @Thou hast been wearied in the multitude of thy counsels , Stand up , I pray thee , and save thee , Let the charmers of the heavens , Those looking on the stars , Those teaching concerning the months , From those things that come on thee ! ylt @Isaiah:47:14 @Lo , they have been as stubble ! Fire hath burned them , They deliver not themselves from the power of the flame , There is not a coal to warm them , a light to sit before it . ylt @Isaiah:47:15 @So have they been to thee with whom thou hast laboured , Thy merchants from thy youth , Each to his passage they have wandered , Thy saviour is not !
