Isaiah 47 (WEBP)

[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] Take the millstones and grind flour. Remove your veil, lift up your skirt, uncover your legs, and wade through the rivers.
[3] Your nakedness will be uncovered. Yes, your shame will be seen. I will take vengeance, and will spare no one.”
[4] Our Redeemer, Yahweh of Armies is his name, is the Holy One of Israel.
[5] “Sit in silence, and go into darkness, daughter of the Chaldeans. For you shall no longer be called the mistress of kingdoms.
[6] I was angry with my people. I profaned my inheritance and gave them into your hand. You showed them no mercy. You laid a very heavy yoke on the aged.
[7] You said, ‘I will be a princess forever,’ so that you didn’t lay these things to your heart, nor did you remember the results.
[8] “Now therefore hear this, you who are given to pleasures, who sit securely, who say in your heart, ‘I am, and there is no one else besides me. I won’t sit as a widow, neither will I know the loss of children.’
[9] But these two things will come to you in a moment in one day: the loss of children and widowhood. They will come on you in their full measure, in the multitude of your sorceries, and the great abundance of your enchantments.
[10] For you have trusted in your wickedness. You have said, ‘No one sees me.’ Your wisdom and your knowledge has perverted you. You have said in your heart, ‘I am, and there is no one else besides me.’
[11] Therefore disaster will come on you. You won’t know when it dawns. Mischief will fall on you. You won’t be able to put it away. Desolation will come on you suddenly, which you don’t understand.
[12] “Stand now with your enchantments and with the multitude of your sorceries, in which you have labored from your youth, as if you might profit, as if you might prevail.
[13] You are wearied in the multitude of your counsels. Now let the astrologers, the stargazers, and the monthly prognosticators stand up and save you from the things that will happen to you.
[14] Behold, they are like stubble. The fire will burn them. They won’t deliver themselves from the power of the flame. It won’t be a coal to warm at or a fire to sit by.
[15] The things that you labored in will be like this: those who have trafficked with you from your youth will each wander in his own way. There will be no one to save you.

Isaiah 47 (KJVS)

[1] Come down, () and sit () in the dust, O virgin daughter of Babylon, sit () on the ground: there is no throne, O daughter of the Chaldeans: for thou shalt no more () be called () tender and delicate.
[2] Take () the millstones, and grind () meal: uncover () thy locks, make bare () the leg, uncover () the thigh, pass over () the rivers.
[3] Thy nakedness shall be uncovered, () yea, thy shame shall be seen: () I will take () vengeance, and I will not meet () thee as a man.
[4] As for our redeemer, () the Lord of hosts is his name, the Holy One of Israel.
[5] Sit () thou silent, and get () thee into darkness, O daughter of the Chaldeans: for thou shalt no more () be called, () The lady of kingdoms.
[6] I was wroth () with my people, I have polluted () mine inheritance, and given () them into thine hand: thou didst shew () them no mercy; upon the ancient hast thou very heavily () laid thy yoke.
[7] And thou saidst, () I shall be a lady for ever: so that thou didst not lay () these things to thy heart, neither didst remember () the latter end of it.
[8] Therefore hear () now this, thou that art given to pleasures, that dwellest () carelessly, that sayest () in thine heart, I am, and none else beside me; I shall not sit () as a widow, neither shall I know () the loss of children:
[9] but these two things shall come () to thee in a moment in one day, the loss of children, and widowhood: they shall come () upon thee in their perfection for the multitude of thy sorceries, and for the great abundance of thine enchantments.
[10] For thou hast trusted () in thy wickedness: thou hast said, () None seeth () me. Thy wisdom and thy knowledge, it hath perverted () thee; and thou hast said () in thine heart, I am, and none else beside me.
[11] Therefore shall evil come () upon thee; thou shalt not know () from whence it riseth: and mischief shall fall () upon thee; thou shalt not be able () to put it off: () and desolation shall come () upon thee suddenly, which thou shalt not know. ()
[12] Stand () now with thine enchantments, and with the multitude of thy sorceries, wherein thou hast laboured () from thy youth; if so be thou shalt be able () to profit, () if so be thou mayest prevail. ()
[13] Thou art wearied () in the multitude of thy counsels. Let now the astrologers, () the stargazers, the monthly prognosticators, () stand up, () and save () thee from these things that shall come () upon thee.
[14] Behold, they shall be as stubble; the fire shall burn () them; they shall not deliver () themselves from the power of the flame: there shall not be a coal to warm () at, nor fire to sit () before it.
[15] Thus shall they be unto thee with whom thou hast laboured, () even thy merchants, () from thy youth: they shall wander () every one to his quarter; none shall save () thee.

Isaiah 47 (BYZ)

[1] καταβηθι καθισον επι την γην παρθενος θυγατηρ βαβυλωνος εισελθε εις το σκοτος θυγατηρ χαλδαιων οτι ουκετι προστεθηση κληθηναι απαλη και τρυφερα
[2] λαβε μυλον αλεσον αλευρον αποκαλυψαι το κατακαλυμμα σου ανακαλυψαι τας πολιας ανασυραι τας κνημας διαβηθι ποταμους
[3] ανακαλυφθησεται η αισχυνη σου φανησονται οι ονειδισμοι σου το δικαιον εκ σου λημψομαι ουκετι μη παραδω ανθρωποις
[4] ειπεν ο ρυσαμενος σε κυριος σαβαωθ ονομα αυτω αγιος ισραηλ
[5] καθισον κατανενυγμενη εισελθε εις το σκοτος θυγατηρ χαλδαιων ουκετι μη κληθης ισχυς βασιλειας
[6] παρωξυνθην επι τω λαω μου εμιανας την κληρονομιαν μου εγω εδωκα εις την χειρα σου συ δε ουκ εδωκας αυτοις ελεος του πρεσβυτερου εβαρυνας τον ζυγον σφοδρα
[7] και ειπας εις τον αιωνα εσομαι αρχουσα ουκ ενοησας ταυτα εν τη καρδια σου ουδε εμνησθης τα εσχατα
[8] νυν δε ακουσον ταυτα η τρυφερα η καθημενη πεποιθυια η λεγουσα εν τη καρδια αυτης εγω ειμι και ουκ εστιν ετερα ου καθιω χηρα ουδε γνωσομαι ορφανειαν
[9] νυν δε ηξει εξαιφνης επι σε τα δυο ταυτα εν μια ημερα χηρεια και ατεκνια ηξει εξαιφνης επι σε εν τη φαρμακεια σου εν τη ισχυι των επαοιδων σου σφοδρα
[10] τη ελπιδι της πονηριας σου συ γαρ ειπας εγω ειμι και ουκ εστιν ετερα γνωθι οτι η συνεσις τουτων και η πορνεια σου εσται σοι αισχυνη και ειπας τη καρδια σου εγω ειμι και ουκ εστιν ετερα
[11] και ηξει επι σε απωλεια και ου μη γνως βοθυνος και εμπεση εις αυτον και ηξει επι σε ταλαιπωρια και ου μη δυνηση καθαρα γενεσθαι και ηξει επι σε εξαπινης απωλεια και ου μη γνως
[12] στηθι νυν εν ταις επαοιδαις σου και τη πολλη φαρμακεια σου α εμανθανες εκ νεοτητος σου ει δυνηση ωφεληθηναι
[13] κεκοπιακας εν ταις βουλαις σου στητωσαν και σωσατωσαν σε οι αστρολογοι του ουρανου οι ορωντες τους αστερας αναγγειλατωσαν σοι τι μελλει επι σε ερχεσθαι
[14] ιδου παντες ως φρυγανα επι πυρι κατακαησονται και ου μη εξελωνται την ψυχην αυτων εκ φλογος οτι εχεις ανθρακας πυρος καθισαι επ αυτους
[15] ουτοι εσονται σοι βοηθεια εκοπιασας εν τη μεταβολη σου εκ νεοτητος ανθρωπος καθ εαυτον επλανηθη σοι δε ουκ εσται σωτηρια
