Isaiah 47章 ESV | 微读圣经

The Humiliation of Babylon

147:1 [ch. 43:14] Come down and sit in the dust,

O virgin 47:1 Ps. 137:8daughter of Babylon;

47:1 ch. 3:26sit on the ground without a throne,

O daughter of 47:1 ch. 23:13; 48:14the Chaldeans!

47:1 [ver. 5; ch. 13:19]For you shall no more be called

tender and delicate.

2Take the millstones and 47:2 Judg. 16:21; [Matt. 24:41] grind flour,

47:2 [ch. 20:4]put off your veil,

strip off your robe, uncover your legs,

pass through the rivers.

3Your nakedness shall be uncovered,

and your disgrace shall be seen.

I will take vengeance,

and I will spare no one.

447:4 See ch. 43:14Our Redeemer—the Lord of hosts is his name—

is the Holy One of Israel.

547:5 [Jer. 8:14] Sit in silence, and go into darkness,

O daughter of 47:5 [See ver. 1above] the Chaldeans;

for you shall no more be called

47:5 [ver. 1]the mistress of kingdoms.

647:6 [Zech. 1:15] I was angry with my people;

I profaned my heritage;

I gave them into your hand;

47:6 [ch. 14:17; 51:23]you showed them no mercy;

on the aged you made your yoke exceedingly heavy.

7You said, “I shall be 47:7 [ver. 1]mistress forever,”

so that you did not lay these things to heart

or remember their end.

8Now therefore hear this, 47:8 [See ver. 7above] you lover of pleasures,

47:8 Zeph. 2:15who sit securely,

who say in your heart,

47:8 [ch. 45:6, 18; Jer. 50:29] “I am, and there is no one besides me;

47:8 Lam. 1:1; [Rev. 18:7]I shall not sit as a widow

or know the loss of children”:

947:9 [ch. 51:19] These two things shall come to you

in a moment, 47:9 [Jer. 50:31] in one day;

the loss of children and widowhood

shall come upon you in full measure,

47:9 [ver. 12, 13; Nah. 3:4]in spite of your many sorceries

and the great power of your enchantments.

10You felt secure in your wickedness;

you said, “No one sees me”;

your wisdom and your knowledge led you astray,

and you said in your heart,

47:10 [ch. 45:6, 18; Jer. 50:29]“I am, and there is no one besides me.”

11But evil shall come upon you,

which you will not know how to charm away;

disaster shall fall upon you,

for which you will not be able to atone;

47:11 [Ps. 35:8; Jer. 51:41]and ruin shall come upon you suddenly,

of which you know nothing.

1247:12 [ver. 9]Stand fast in your enchantments

and your many sorceries,

with which you have labored from your youth;

perhaps you may be able to succeed;

perhaps you may inspire terror.

13You are wearied with your many counsels;

let them stand forth and save you,

47:13 [ch. 44:25; Dan. 2:2, 10]those who divide the heavens,

who gaze at the stars,

who at the new moons make known

what shall come upon you.

14Behold, 47:14 ch. 41:2; Nah. 1:10; Mal. 4:1they are like stubble;

47:14 See ch. 10:17the fire consumes them;

they cannot deliver themselves

from the power of the flame.

No coal for warming oneself is this,

no fire to sit before!

15Such to you are those with whom you have labored,

who have done business with you from your youth;

they wander about, each in his own direction;

there is no one to save you.
