< Isaiah 47 >

1 Go down and sit in the dust, virgin daughter of Babylon. Sit on the ground without a throne, daughter of Babylonia! No longer will people call you gentle and delicate.
to go down and to dwell upon dust virgin daughter Babylon to dwell to/for land: soil nothing throne daughter Chaldea for not to add: again to call: call by to/for you tender and dainty

to dwell silence and to come (in): come in/on/with darkness daughter Chaldea for not to add: again to call: call by to/for you lady kingdom
6 I was angry with my people, and I abandoned those who belonged to me. I handed them over to you. But you didn't show them mercy—you even mistreated old people.

7 You said, “I will reign forever as the eternal queen.” But you didn't think about what was coming; you didn't remember what would happen to you in the end.
and to say to/for forever: enduring to be lady till not to set: put these upon heart your not to remember end her
8 Now listen to this, you sensual woman, sitting there so sure of yourself, saying to yourself, “I am supreme—there's nobody besides me. I shall never be a widow or experience the loss of my children.”
and now to hear: hear this voluptuous [the] to dwell to/for security [the] to say in/on/with heart her I and end I still not to dwell widow and not to know bereavement
9 But both these things will happen to you in quick succession! In just one day you will lose your children and become a widow. You will have this experience in its totality, in spite of all your witchcraft, in spite of all your magic spells.
and to come (in): come to/for you two these moment in/on/with day one bereavement and widower like/as integrity their to come (in): come upon you in/on/with abundance sorcery your in/on/with strength spell your much

and to come (in): come upon you distress: evil not to know dawn her and to fall: fall upon you misfortune not be able to atone her and to come (in): come upon you suddenly devastation not to know
12 So keep going with your magic spells and all your witchcraft, which you have worked at since you were young. Maybe you'll be successful, maybe you'll terrify people!
to stand: stand please in/on/with spell your and in/on/with abundance sorcery your in/on/with in which be weary/toil from youth your perhaps be able to gain perhaps to tremble
13 All the advice you've received has worn you out! Where are your astrologers, those who look to the stars for guidance, who give you their predictions every month? Let them stand up and save you from what's coming down on you!

14 But look at them! They're like stubble that fire burns up completely—they can't even save their own lives from the flames. This is no fire to sit beside and grow warm!

15 All those people you've worked with, all those you've traded with from when you were young—they will all go their own way, nobody will come and save you.
