ASV_Strong : Isaiah 47
1. Come down[H3381], and sit[H3427] in the dust[H6083], O virgin[H1330] daughter[H1323] of Babylon[H894]; sit[H3427] on the ground[H776] without a throne[H3678], O daughter[H1323] of the Chaldeans[H3778]: for thou shalt no more[H3254] be called[H7121] tender[H7390] and delicate[H6028].
2. Take[H3947] the millstones[H7347], and grind[H2912] meal[H7058]; remove[H1540] thy veil[H6777], strip[H2834] off the train[H7640], uncover[H1540] the leg[H7785], pass through[H5674] the rivers[H5104].
3. Thy nakedness[H6172] shall be uncovered[H1540], yea[H2781], thy shame shall be seen[H7200]: I will take[H3947] vengeance[H5359], and will spare[H6293] no man[H120].
4. Our Redeemer[H1350], Jehovah[H3068] of hosts[H6635] is his name[H8034], the Holy One[H6918] of Israel[H3478].
5. Sit[H3427] thou silent[H1748], and get[H935] thee into darkness[H2822], O daughter[H1323] of the Chaldeans[H3778]; for thou shalt no more[H3254] be called[H7121] The mistress[H1404] of kingdoms[H4467].
6. I was wroth[H7107] with my people[H5971], I profaned[H2490] mine inheritance[H5159], and gave[H5414] them into thy hand[H3027]: thou didst show[H7760] them no mercy[H7356]; upon the aged[H2205] hast thou very[H3966] heavily[H3513] laid thy yoke[H5923].
7. And thou saidst[H559], I shall be mistress[H1404] for ever[H5769]; so that thou didst not lay[H7760] these things to thy heart[H3820], neither didst remember[H2142] the latter end thereof[H319].
8. Now therefore hear[H8085] this[H5719], thou that art given to pleasures, that sittest[H3427] securely[H983], that sayest[H559] in thy heart[H3824], I am[H657], and there is none else besides me[H3427]; I shall not sit as a widow[H490], neither shall I know[H3045] the loss of children[H7908]:
9. but these two[H8147] things shall come[H935] to thee in a moment[H7281] in one[H259] day[H3117], the loss of children[H7908], and widowhood[H489]; in their full measure[H8537] shall they come[H935] upon thee[H7230], in the multitude of thy sorceries[H3785], and the great[H3966] abundance[H6109] of thine enchantments[H2267].
10. For thou hast trusted[H982] in thy wickedness[H7451]; thou hast said[H559], None seeth[H7200] me[H2451]; thy wisdom and thy knowledge[H1847], it hath perverted[H7725] thee[H559], and thou hast said in thy heart[H3820], I am[H657], and there is none else besides me.
11. Therefore shall evil[H7451] come[H935] upon thee[H3045]; thou shalt not know the dawning[H7837] thereof[H1943]: and mischief shall fall[H5307] upon thee[H3201]; thou shalt not be able to put it away[H3722]: and desolation[H7722] shall come[H935] upon thee suddenly[H6597], which thou knowest not[H3045].
12. Stand[H5975] now with thine enchantments[H2267], and with the multitude[H7230] of thy sorceries[H3785], wherein[H834] thou hast labored[H3021] from thy youth[H5271]; if so be thou shalt be able[H3201] to profit[H3276], if so be thou mayest prevail[H6206].
13. Thou art wearied[H3811] in the multitude[H7230] of thy counsels[H6098]: let now the astrologers[H1895], the star-gazers[H2374], the monthly[H2320] prognosticators[H3045], stand up[H5975], and save[H3467] thee from the things that shall come upon thee[H935].
14. Behold[H7179], they shall be as stubble; the fire[H784] shall burn[H8313] them[H5337]; they shall not deliver themselves[H5315] from the power[H3027] of the flame[H3852]: it shall not be a coal[H1513] to warm[H2552] at[H217], nor a fire to sit before[H3427].
15. Thus shall the things be unto thee wherein thou hast labored[H3021]: they that have trafficked[H5503] with thee from thy youth[H5271] shall wander[H8582] every one[H376] to his quarter[H5676]; there shall be none to save thee[H3467].
