47 ‘Babylon, get down on the ground, and sit in the dirt!
    Come down off your throne, young lady!
In the past, nobody has touched you,
    but people will no longer say that you are so pretty.
² Use heavy stones to make grain into flour.
Take the veil off your face.
    Lift up your skirt.
Walk through streams of water with bare legs.
³ Stand there with your body completely bare!
    Everybody will see your great shame.
I will punish you for your sins,
    and nobody will escape.’
