The Fall of Babylon
“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.”
Isaiah 47:1 (KJV)
Commentary on Isaiah 47:1
The command for Babylon to 'come down, and sit in the dust' reverses her royal pretensions, depicting humiliation and mourning. The phrase 'virgin daughter of Babylon' employs ironic language - she thought herself inviolable but will be violated by conquest. The removal of her throne signifies divine judgment on human pride; God alone is the judge who puts down one and raises up another (Psalm 75:7).
