Isaiah 47:2 in context

  1. 1“Come down and sit in the dust, virgin daughter of Babylon.
    Sit on the ground without a throne, daughter of the Chaldeans.
    For you will no longer be called tender and delicate.
  2. 2Take the millstones and grind flour.
    Remove your veil, lift up your skirt, uncover your legs,
    and wade through the rivers.
  3. 3Your nakedness will be uncovered.
    Yes, your shame will be seen.
    I will take vengeance,
    and will spare no one.”
  4. 4Our Redeemer, Yahweh of Armies is his name,
    is the Holy One of Israel.
