47"Go down, sit in the dust, Virgin 1 Daughter of Babylon; sit on the ground without a throne, Daughter of the Babylonians. No more will you be called tender or delicate.
2Take millstones and grind flour; take off your veil. Lift up your skirts, bare your legs, and wade 2 through the streams.
3Your nakedness will be exposed and your shame uncovered. I will take vengeance 3; I will spare no one."
4Our Redeemer-the Lord Almighty 4 is his name- is the Holy One of Israel.
5"Sit in silence, go into darkness, Daughter of the Babylonians; no more will you be called queen of kingdoms.
6I was angry with my people and desecrated 5 my inheritance; I gave them into your hand, and you showed them no mercy. Even on the aged 6 you laid a very heavy yoke 7.
7You said, 'I will continue forever- the eternal queen!' But you did not consider these things or reflect on what might happen.
8"Now then, listen, you wanton creature, lounging in your security and saying to yourself, 'I am, and there is none besides me. I will never be a widow or suffer the loss of children.'
9Both of these will overtake you in a moment, on a single day: loss of children and widowhood. They will come upon you in full measure, in spite of your many sorceries and all your potent 8 spells.
10You have trusted in your wickedness and have said, 'No one sees me.' Your wisdom and knowledge mislead you when you say to yourself, 'I am, and there is none besides me.'
11Disaster will come upon you, and you will not know how to conjure 9 it away. A calamity 10 will fall upon you that you cannot ward 11 off with a ransom 12; a catastrophe 13 you cannot foresee will suddenly come upon you.
12"Keep on, then, with your magic spells and with your many sorceries, which you have labored 14 at since childhood. Perhaps you will succeed, perhaps you will cause terror.
13All the counsel you have received has only worn you out! Let your astrologers come forward, those stargazers who make predictions month by month, let them save you from what is coming upon you.
14Surely 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; here is no fire to sit by.
15That 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; there is not one that can save you.
