Berean Standard Bible
Come
down ,
and sit on
the dust, O virgin daughter of Babylon ,
Sit on the earth,
there
is
no
throne, O daughter of the
Chaldeans,
For no more
do
they
cry
to
thee,
`O
tender and
delicate one
. '
“Go
down and sit in
the dust, O Virgin Daughter of Babylon .
Sit on the ground
without
a
throne, O Daughter of Chaldea!
For you
will
no longer
be
called
tender or
delicate.
Take millstones ,
and grind flour ,
Remove thy
veil ,
draw
up
the
skirt, Uncover
the
leg
, pass
over
the floods
.
Take millstones and grind flour ;
remove your
veil ;
strip
off
your
skirt, bare
your
thigh
, and
wade
through
the streams
.
Revealed
is
thy
nakedness ,
yea,
seen
is
thy
reproach,
Vengeance
I take ,
and
I meet
not
a
man
.
Your
nakedness will
be
uncovered
and
your
shame
will
be
exposed.
I will
take vengeance;
I will
spare
no
one
. ”
Our redeemer `is'
Jehovah
of Hosts ,
His name `
is '
the Holy One of Israel.
Our Redeemer —the
LORD
of Hosts is
His name —
is the Holy One of Israel.
Sit silent,
and go into darkness, O daughter of the
Chaldeans,
For no more
do
they
cry
to
thee,
`Mistress
of kingdoms. '
“
Sit in
silence
and go into darkness, O Daughter of Chaldea.
For you
will
no longer
be
called
the
queen
of kingdoms.
I have
been
wroth
against
My people ,
I have
polluted
Mine
inheritance
And I give
them into
thy
hand,
Thou
hast
not
appointed
for
them mercies,
On the aged
thou
hast
made
thy
yoke
very
heavy ,
I was
angry
with
My people ;
I profaned
My
heritage,
and I placed
them under
your
control.
You
showed
them no
mercy;
even
on the elderly
you
laid
a
most
heavy yoke.
And
thou
sayest
, `To
the
age
I am
mistress,'
While
thou
hast
not laid
these things to thy
heart ,
Thou
hast
not
remembered
the
latter
end
of
it
.
You
said
, ‘
I will
be
queen
forever.’
You
did
not take
these things to heart or
consider
their
outcome
.
And
now ,
hear this, O luxurious
one,
Who is
sitting
confidently
--
Who is
saying
in
her
heart
, `
I `
am '
, and none else,
I sit
not
a widow ,
nor
know bereavement
. '
So
now hear this, O lover
of
luxury
who sits
securely,
who says
to
herself
, ‘
I am, and there
is
none besides
me.
I will
never
be
a widow or
know the
loss
of
children
. ’
And
come
in
to
thee
do
these two things ,
In a moment, in one
day, childlessness
and widowhood ,
According
to
their
perfection
they have
come upon thee
, In the
multitude
of thy
sorceries ,
In
the exceeding
might
of thy
charms
.
These two things will
overtake
you
in a moment, in a
single
day :
loss
of
children
, and widowhood .
They will
come upon you
in
full
measure
, in spite
of your
many
sorceries and
the potency
of your
spells
.
And
thou
art
confident
in thy
wickedness ,
Thou
hast
said, `There
is
none
seeing
me ,'
Thy
wisdom and thy
knowledge ,
It
is
turning
thee
back,
And
thou
sayest
in
thy
heart
, `
I `
am '
, and none else
. '
You
were
secure
in your
wickedness ;
you
said, ‘No
one
sees
me .’
Your
wisdom and knowledge led
you
astray;
you
told
yourself
, ‘
I am, and there
is
none besides
me
. ’
And
come in
on
thee
hath
evil,
Thou
knowest
not
its
rising,
And
fall
on
thee
doth
mischief,
Thou
art
not able
to pacify
it ,
And
come
on
thee
suddenly doth
desolation,
Thou
knowest
not
.
But
disaster
will
come upon
you;
you
will
not know
how
to charm
it away.
A
calamity
will
befall
you
that
you
will
be
unable
to
ward
off.
Devastation
will
happen
to
you
suddenly and
unexpectedly
.
Stand ,
I
pray
thee,
in
thy
charms,
And in
the
multitude
of
thy
sorceries, In
which thou
hast
laboured
from thy
youth ,
It
may
be
thou
art
able
to
profit,
It
may
be
thou
dost
terrify
!
So
take
your
stand with
your
spells
and with
your
many
sorceries, with
which you
have
wearied
yourself
from your
youth .
Perhaps
you
will
succeed;
perhaps
you
will
inspire
terror
!
Thou
hast
been
wearied in
the
multitude
of
thy
counsels,
Stand
up,
I
pray
thee,
and save thee,
Let
the
charmers
of
the
heavens,
Those
looking
on
the stars, Those
teaching
concerning
the
months,
From
those
things
that
come
on
thee!
You
are
wearied by
your
many
counselors;
let
them
come
forward
now
and save you—
your
astrologers
who
observe
the stars, who
monthly
predict
your
fate.
Lo,
they have
been
as
stubble !
Fire hath
burned
them ,
They deliver not
themselves from the power of the flame ,
There is
not
a
coal
to warm them ,
a
light
to sit before
it
.
Surely
they are
like
stubble ;
the
fire will
burn
them up.
They cannot
deliver themselves from the power of the flame .
There will
be
no
coals
to warm them or
fire
to sit beside
.
So
have
they been
to thee
with whom thou
hast
laboured,
Thy
merchants
from thy
youth ,
Each to
his passage
they
have
wandered,
Thy
saviour
is
not !
This
is
what
they are
to you—
those
with whom you
have
labored
and
traded
from youth —
each one
strays
in
his own
direction;
not one
of
them
can
save
you.
