TSK · Isaiah 47:1

Job took a shard of broken pottery to scrape himself with while he was sitting among the ashes.

For you deliver oppressed people, but you bring down those who have a proud look.

O daughter Babylon, soon to be devastated! How blessed will be the one who repays you for what you dished out to us!

The Lord Will Judge Babylon This is an oracle about Babylon that Isaiah son of Amoz saw:

The LORD will certainly have compassion on Jacob; he will again choose Israel as his special people and restore them to their land. Resident foreigners will join them and unite with the family of Jacob.

I will climb up to the tops of the clouds; I will make myself like the Most High!”

He said,“You will no longer celebrate, oppressed virgin daughter Sidon! Get up, travel to Cyprus, but you will find no relief there.”

The Lord Will Give True Security You complacent women, get up and listen to me! You carefree daughters, pay attention to what I say!

You said,‘I will rule forever as permanent queen!’ You did not think about these things; you did not consider how it would turn out.

The LORD told me,“Tell the king and the queen mother,‘Surrender your thrones, for your glorious crowns will be removed from your heads.

Come down from your place of honor; sit on the dry ground, you who live in Dibon. For the one who will destroy Moab will attack you; he will destroy your fortifications.

The LORD says,“I will cause a destructive wind to blow against Babylon and the people who inhabit Babylonia.

‘We are ashamed because we have been insulted. Our faces show our disgrace. For foreigners have invaded the holy rooms in the LORD’s temple.’

ש(Sin/Shin) The young boys and old men lie dead on the ground in the streets. My young women and my young men have fallen by the sword. You killed them when you were angry; you slaughtered them without mercy.

All the princes of the sea will vacate their thrones. They will remove their robes and strip off their embroidered clothes; they will clothe themselves with trembling. They will sit on the ground; they will tremble continually and be shocked at what has happened to you.

Your presumptuous heart has deceived you– you who reside in the safety of the rocky cliffs, whose home is high in the mountains. You think to yourself,‘No one can bring me down to the ground!’

I will overthrow royal thrones and shatter the might of earthly kingdoms. I will overthrow chariots and those who ride them, and horses and their riders will fall as people kill one another.

As much as she exalted herself and lived in sensual luxury, to this extent give her torment and grief because she said to herself,‘I rule as queen and am no widow; I will never experience grief!’
