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
Chaldeans!
For
you
shall
no
more
be
called
tender
and
delicate.
47:2 Take
the
millstones
and
grind
flour,
put
off
your
veil,
strip
off
your
robe,
uncover
your
legs,
pass
through
the
rivers.
47:3 Your
nakedness
shall
be
uncovered,
and
your
disgrace
shall
be
seen.
I
will
take
vengeance,
and
I
will
spare
no
one.
47:4 Our
Redeemer--the
LORD
of
hosts
is
his
name--
is
the
Holy
One
of
Israel.
47:5 Sit
in
silence,
and
go
into
darkness,
O
daughter
of
the
Chaldeans;
for
you
shall
no
more
be
called
the
mistress
of
kingdoms.
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.
47:7 You
said,
"I
shall
be
mistress
forever,"
so
that
you
did
not
lay
these
things
to
heart
or
remember
their
end.
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":
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.
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."
47:11 But
evil
shall
come
upon
you,
which
you
will
not
know
how
to
charm
away;
disaster
shall
fall
upon
you,
for
which
you
will
not
be
able
to
atone;
and
ruin
shall
come
upon
you
suddenly,
of
which
you
know
nothing.
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.
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
make
known
what
shall
come
upon
you.
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!
47:15 Such
to
you
are
those
with
whom
you
have
labored,
who
have
done
business
with
you
from
your
youth;
they
wander
about,
each
in
his
own
direction;
there
is
no
one
to
save
you.
