a god: they fall down, yea, they worship.
7
They bear him upon the shoulder, they carry him, and
set him in his place, and he standeth; from his place shall he not remove: yea,
one
shall cry unto
him, yet can he not answer, nor save him out of his trouble.
8
Remember this, and shew yourselves
men: bring it again to mind, O ye transgressors.
9
Remember the former things of old: for I
am
God, and
there is
none else;
I am
God, and
there is
none like me,
10
Declaring the end from the
beginning, and from ancient times
the things
that are not
yet
done, saying, My counsel shall stand,
and I will do all my pleasure:
11
Calling a ravenous bird from the east, the man that executeth my
counsel from a far country: yea, I have spoken
it,
I will also bring it to pass; I have purposed
it,
I
will also do it.
12
Hearken unto me, ye stouthearted, that
are
far from righteousness:
13
I bring near my
righteousness; it shall not be far off, and my salvation shall not tarry: and I will place salvation in
Zion for Israel my glory.
CHAPTER 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 L
ORD
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 if 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

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
