Isaiah 47:2

Babylon's Fall

¹ “Go down and sit in the dust,
Virgin Daughter Babylon.
Sit on the ground without a throne,
Daughter Chaldea!
For you will no longer be called pampered and spoiled.
² Take millstones and grind meal;
remove your veil,
strip off your skirt, bare your thigh,
wade through the streams.
³ Your nakedness will be uncovered,
and your shame will be exposed.
I will take vengeance;
I will spare no one.
