Lament for Babylon
47 “(A)Come down and sit in the dust,
O (B)virgin (C)daughter of Babylon;
Sit on the ground without a throne,
O daughter of the Chaldeans!
For you shall no longer be called (D)tender and delicate.
2 Take the (E)millstones and (F)grind flour.
Uncover your (G)veil, (H)strip off the skirt,
Uncover the leg, cross the rivers.
3 Your (I)nakedness will be uncovered;
Your reproach also will be seen;
I will (J)take vengeance and will not [a]spare a man.”
4 Our (K)Redeemer, Yahweh of hosts is His name,
The Holy One of Israel.
5 “(L)Sit silently, and go into (M)darkness,
O daughter of the Chaldeans,
For you will no longer be called
The (N)queen of (O)kingdoms.
6 I was furious with My people;
I profaned My inheritance
And gave them into your hand.
You did not show compassion to them,
On the (P)aged you made your yoke very heavy.
7 Yet you said, ‘I will be a (Q)queen forever.’
These things you did not (R)put on your heart
Nor remember the (S)outcome of [b]them.
8 “So now, hear this, you (T)sensual one,
Who (U)sits securely,
Who says in [c]your heart,
‘(V)I am, and there is no one besides me.
I will (W)not sit as a widow,
Nor know loss of children.’
9 But these (X)two things will come on you (Y)suddenly in one day:
Loss of children and widowhood.
They will come on you in full measure
In spite of your many (Z)sorceries,
In spite of the great might of your spells.
10 You felt (AA)secure in your evil and said,
‘(AB)No one sees me,’
Your (AC)wisdom and your knowledge [d]have turned you astray;
So you have said in your heart,
‘(AD)I am, and there is no one besides me.’
11 But (AE)evil will come on you
Which you will not know how to charm away;
And disaster will fall on you
For which you cannot atone;
And (AF)destruction about which you do not know
Will come on you (AG)suddenly.
12 “Stand fast now in your (AH)spells
And in your many sorceries
With which you have labored from your youth;
Perhaps you will be able to profit;
Perhaps you may cause trembling.
13 You are (AI)wearied with your many counsels;
Let now the (AJ)astrologers,
Those who behold visions by the stars,
Those who predict by the new moons,
Stand up and (AK)save you from what will come upon you.
14 Behold, they have become (AL)like stubble,
(AM)Fire burns them;
They cannot deliver themselves from the power of the flame;
There will be (AN)no coal to warm by
Nor a fire to sit before!
15 Thus they have become for you, those among whom you have labored,
Who have (AO)traded with you from your youth;
Each has wandered in his own [e]way;
There is (AP)none to save you.

La caída de Babilonia
47 »Desciende, siéntate en el polvo,
hija virginal de Babilonia;
siéntate en el suelo, hija de los babilonios,[a]
pues ya no hay trono.
Nunca más se te llamará
tierna y delicada.
2 Toma piedras de molino y muele la harina;
quítate el velo,
levántate las faldas, desnúdate las piernas
y cruza los ríos.
3 Tu desnudez quedará al descubierto;
quedará expuesta tu vergüenza.
Voy a tomar venganza
y a nadie perdonaré».
4 Nuestro Redentor es el Santo de Israel;
su nombre es el Señor de los Ejércitos.
5 «Siéntate en silencio, hija de los babilonios;[b]
entra en las tinieblas.
Porque nunca más se te llamará
“soberana de los reinos”.
6 Yo estaba enojado con mi pueblo;
por eso profané mi heredad.
Los entregué en tu mano
y no les tuviste compasión.
Pusiste sobre los ancianos
un yugo muy pesado.
7 Dijiste: “¡Por siempre seré la soberana!”.
Pero no consideraste esto
ni reflexionaste sobre su final.
8 »Ahora, escucha esto, provocadora;
tú, que moras confiada
y te dices a ti misma:
“Yo soy y no hay otra fuera de mí.
Nunca enviudaré
ni me quedaré sin hijos”.
9 De repente, en un solo día,
ambas cosas te sorprenderán:
la pérdida de tus hijos y la viudez
te abrumarán por completo,
a pesar de tus muchas hechicerías
y de tus poderosos encantamientos.
10 Tú has confiado en tu maldad,
y has dicho: “Nadie me ve”.
Tu sabiduría y tu conocimiento te engañan
cuando a ti misma te dices:
“Yo soy y no hay otra fuera de mí”.
11 Pero vendrá sobre ti una desgracia
que no sabrás conjurar;
caerá sobre ti una calamidad
que no podrás evitar.
Una catástrofe que ni te imaginas
vendrá de repente sobre ti.
12 »Persiste, entonces, con tus encantamientos
y con tus muchas hechicerías,
en las que te has ejercitado desde la niñez.
Tal vez tengas éxito,
tal vez puedas provocar terror.
13 Los muchos consejos te han fatigado.
Que se presenten tus astrólogos,
los que observan las estrellas,
los que hacen predicciones mes a mes,
¡que te salven de lo que viene sobre ti!
14 ¡Míralos! Son como la paja
y el fuego los consumirá.
Ni a sí mismos pueden salvarse
del poder de las llamas.
Aquí no hay brasas para calentarse
ni fuego para sentarse ante él.
15 Eso son para ti los hechiceros
con quienes te has ejercitado
y con los que has negociado desde tu juventud.
Cada uno sigue en su error;
no habrá quien pueda salvarte.

Isaiah 47
King James Version
47 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.
