Isaiah 47:1-2

Easy-to-Read Version

47 “Fall down and sit in the dirt, Virgin Daughter Babylon.
    You have no throne, so sit on the ground, daughter of the Chaldeans.^[a]
You are not the ruler now.
    You are no longer the beautiful young princess that people said you were.
² Get the millstones ready
    and grind the grain into flour.
Take off your veil and fancy clothes.
    Lift your skirt and get ready to cross the rivers.^[b]
