Holy Bible - Revised Standard Version(RSV)

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 Chalde'ans! For you shall no more be called tender and delicate.
47:2	Take the millstones and grind meal, put off your veil, strip off your robe, uncover your legs, pass through the rivers.
47:3	Your nakedness shall be uncovered, and your shame shall be seen. I will take vengeance, and I will spare no man.
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 Chalde'ans;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 for ever,' 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.'

47:12	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 predict what shall befall 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 trafficked with you from your youth;they wander about each in his own direction;there is no one to save you.
