Isaiah 47
1 Go down - and sit on [the] dust O virgin of [the] daughter of Babylon sit to the ground there not [is] a throne O daughter of [the] Chaldeans for not you will repeat people will call you tender and delicate.
Come down, sit in the dust, O virgin daughter of Babylon, sit on the ground: there is no throne for the daughter of the Chaldeans, for thou shalt no more be called delicate and tender.
2 Take a hand-mill and grind flour uncover veil your strip off a skirt uncover a leg pass through rivers.
Take a millstone and grind meal: uncover thy shame, strip thy shoulder, make bare thy legs, pass over the rivers.
3 Let it be uncovered nakedness your also let it be visible reproach your vengeance I will take and not I will meet anyone.
Thy nakedness shall be discovered, and thy shame shall be seen: I will take vengeance, and no man shall resist me.
4 Redeemer our [is] Yahweh of hosts name his [the] holy [one] of Israel.
Our redeemer, the Lord of hosts is his name, the Holy One of Israel.
5 Sit silently and go in darkness O daughter of [the] Chaldeans for not you will repeat people will call you queen of kingdoms.
Sit thou silent, and get thee into darkness, O daughter of the Chaldeans: for thou shalt no more be called the lady of kingdoms.
6 I was angry towards people my I profaned inheritance my and I gave them in hand your not you appointed to them compassion on [the] old you made heavy yoke your exceedingly.
I was angry with my people, I have polluted my inheritance, and have given them into thy bend: thou hast shewn no mercy to them: upon the ancient thou hast laid thy yoke exceeding heavy.
7 And you said for ever I will be a queen until not you put these [things] on heart your not you remembered outcome its.
And thou hast said: I shall be a lady for ever: thou hast not laid these things to thy heart, neither hast thou remembered thy latter end.
8 And therefore listen to this O voluptuous [woman] who dwells to security who says in heart her I and only I [am] yet not I will live a widow and not I will know childlessness.
And now hear these things, thou that art delicate, and dwellest confidently, that sayest in thy heart: I am, and there is none else besides me: I shall not sit as a widow, and I shall not know barrenness.
9 So they may come to you both of these [things] a moment in a day one childlessness and widowhood according to completeness their they will come on you in [the] abundance of sorceries your in [the] power of spells your very many.
These two things shall come upon thee suddenly in one day, barrenness and widowhood. All things are come upon thee, because of the multitude of thy sorceries, and for the great hardness of thy enchanters.
10 And you trusted in evil your you said there not [is one who] sees me wisdom your and knowledge your it it has led away you and you said in heart your I and only I [am] yet.
And thou best trusted in thy wickedness, and hast said: There is none that seeth me. Thy wisdom, and thy knowledge, this hath deceived thee. And thou best said in thy heart: I am, and besides me there is no other.
11 And it will come on you calamity not you will know to charm away it and it may fall on you disaster not you will be able to cover it and it may come on you suddenly ruin [which] not you will know.
Evil shall come upon thee, and then shalt not know the rising thereof: and calamity shall fall violently upon thee, which thou canst not keep off: misery shall come upon thee suddenly, which thou shalt not know.
12 Stand please in spells your and in [the] abundance of sorceries your in which you have labored since youth your perhaps you will be able to profit perhaps you will inspire awe.
Stand now with thy enchanters, and with the multitude of thy sorceries, in which thou hast laboured from thy youth, if so be it may profit thee any thing, or if thou mayst become stronger.
13 You have become weary with [the] abundance of counsels your let them stand please and let them deliver you ([those who] divide *Q(K)*) [the] heavens those [who] look on the stars [those who] make known to the new moons from [the things] which they will come on you.
Thou hast failed in the multitude or thy counsels: let now the astrologers stand and save thee, they that gazed at the stars, and counted the months, that from them they might tell the things that shall come to thee.
14 There! they have become like chaff a fire it has burned them not they will deliver self their from [the] hand of [the] flame there not [will be] coal to warm them a fire to sit before it.
Behold they are as stubble, fire hath burnt them, they shall not deliver themselves from the power of the dames: there are no coals wherewith they may be warmed, nor fire, that they may sit thereat.
15 Thus they have become for you [those] whom you have labored traders your since youth your everyone to side his they have wandered there not [is] a deliverer for you.
Such are all the things become to thee, in which thou best laboured: thy merchants from thy youth, every one hath erred in his own way, there is none that can save thee.
