Isaiah 47:1 (NIV) New International Version

1 "Go down, sit in the dust, Virgin Daughter of Babylon; sit on the ground without a throne, Daughter of the Babylonians. No more will you be called tender or delicate.
2 Take millstones and grind flour; take off your veil. Lift up your skirts, bare your legs, and wade through the streams.
3 Your nakedness will be exposed and your shame uncovered. I will take vengeance; I will spare no-one."
4 Our Redeemer--the LORD Almighty 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.
6 I was angry with my people and desecrated my inheritance; I gave them into your hand, and you showed them no mercy. Even on the aged you laid a very heavy yoke.
7 You said,`I will continue for ever--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.'
9 Both 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 spells.
10 You 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.'
11 Disaster will come upon you, and you will not know how to conjure it away. A calamity will fall upon you that you cannot ward off with a ransom; a catastrophe you cannot foresee will suddenly come upon you.
12 "Keep on, then, with your magic spells and with your many sorceries, which you have laboured at since childhood. Perhaps you will succeed, perhaps you will cause terror.
13 All 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.
14 Surely 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.
15 That is all they can do for you--these you have laboured with and trafficked with since childhood. Each of them goes on in his error; there is not one that can save you.

Thy wisdom H2451 and thy knowledge H1847 , it H1931 PPRO-3FS hath perverted H7725 thee ; and thou hast said H559 in thine heart H3820 , I H589 PPRO-1MS am , and none else beside H657 me .
11 Therefore shall evil H7451 AFS come H935 upon H5921 thee ; thou shalt not H3808 NADV know H3045 from whence it riseth H7837 : and mischief H1943 shall fall H5307 upon H5921 thee ; thou shalt not H3808 NADV be able H3201 to put it off H3722 : and desolation H7722 NFS shall come H935 upon H5921 thee suddenly H6597 ADV , which thou shalt not H3808 NADV know H3045 .
12 Stand H5975 now H4994 IJEC with thine enchantments H2267 , and with the multitude H7230 of thy sorceries H3785 , wherein H834 B-RPRO thou hast labored H3021 from thy youth H5271 ; if so be H194 ADV thou shalt be able H3201 to profit H3276 , if so be H194 ADV thou mayest prevail H6206 .

15 Thus H3651 ADV shall they be H1961 VQQ3MP unto thee with whom H834 RPRO thou hast labored H3021 , even thy merchants H5503 , from thy youth H5271 : they shall wander H8582 every one H376 NMS to his quarter H5676 ; none H369 NPAR shall save H3467 thee .
