47 “^(A)Come down and sit in the dust,
^(B)Virgin ^(C)daughter of Babylon;
Sit on the ground without a throne,
Daughter of the Chaldeans!
For you will no longer be called ^(D)tender and delicate.
² Take the ^(E)millstones and ^(F)grind flour.
Remove your ^(G)veil, ^(H)strip off the skirt,
Uncover the leg, cross the rivers.
³ Your ^(I)nakedness will be uncovered,
Your shame will also be exposed;
I will ^(J)take vengeance and will not spare anyone.”
⁴ Our ^(K)Redeemer, the Lord of armies is His name,
The Holy One of Israel.
⁵ “^(L)Sit silently, and go into ^(M)darkness,
Daughter of the Chaldeans;
For you will no longer be called
The ^(N)queen of ^(O)kingdoms.
⁶ I was angry with My people,
I profaned My heritage
And handed them over to you.
You did not show mercy 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)consider
Nor remember the ^(S)outcome of ^[a]them.
