Chap. XLVII.
note
The destruction of Babylon is further prophecied, for their pride, 8. arrogancie, 10. and forcerie.
1 Come downe, sitte in the dust note ô Virgin daughter of
Babylon, sitte on the ground: there is no throne for the
daughter of the Chaldees, because thou shalt no more be called
nice and tender.
2 Take a mil, and grinde meale: make
bare thy turpitude, discouer the shoulder, vncouer the thighes,
passe the riuers.
3 Thyne ignominie shal be discouered, and
thy reproch shal be seene: I wil take vengeance, and no man
shal resist me.
4 Our redemer, the Lord of hostes is his name
the holie one of Israel.
5 Sitte holding thy peace, and enter
into darkenes ô daughter of the Chaldees: because thou shalt
no more be called the ladie of kingdomes.
6 I was angrie
agaynst my people, I note haue contaminated mine inheritance,
and haue geuen them into thy hand: thou hast not shewed
mercies to them: vpon the ancient thou hast made thy yoke
exceding heauie.
7 And thou hast sayd: I wil be a ladie for
euer: thou hast not put these thinges vpon thy hart, neither
hast thou remembred thy later end.
8 And now heare these
thinges thou that art delicate, and dwellest confidently, that
sayest in thy hart: I am, and there is none eles beside me: I
shal not sitte a widow, and I shal not know barrennesse.
9 These two thinges shal come to thee sodenly in one day,
barrennesse and widowhood. Al thinges are come vpon thee,
-- --
because of the multitude of thy sorceries, and for the vehement
hardnes of thine inchanters.
10 And thou hast confidence
in thy malice, & hast sayd: There is none that seeth me.
Thy wisdome, and thy knowlege, this hath deceiued thee.
And thou hast sayd in thy hart: I am, and beside me there is
none other.
11 Euil shal come vpon thee, and thou shalt not
know the rysing therof: and calamitie shal fal violently vpon
thee, which thou canst not expiate: miserie shal come vpon
thee sodenly, which thou shalt not know.
12 Stand with thine
inchanters, and with the multitude of thy sorceries, in which
thou hast traueled from thy youth, if perhaps it may profite
thee any thing, or if thou mayst become stronger.
13 Thou
hast fayled in the multitude of thy counsels: let the astrologers
of the heauen stand and saue thee, which did contemplate the
starres, and count the monethes, that by them they might tel
thinges that shal come to thee.
14 Behold they are become as
stuble, fire hath burnt them, they shal not deliuer their soule
from the hand of the flame: there are no coles, wherwith they
may be warmed, nor fire, that they may sitte therat.
15 So are
the thinges become vnto thee, in whatsoeuer thou hast traueled:
thy merchants from thy youth, euerie one hath erred
in his owne way, there is none that can saue thee.
