RF ISA 47:1 ODE 24.
The ruin of Babel Foretold.
Come down, and sit in the dust, you, virgin daughter of Babel;
And sit on the ground unthroned, you, the girl of the Kasdim,
For no more will they call you the refined and protected.
RF ISA 47:2 Lend a hand to the mill and grind flour,—
Shave your tresses and strip off your robe,
RF ISA 47:3 Bare your legs, and wade over the streams;
Strip yourself bare, exposing your shame,—
I avenge, and I will regard none.
RF ISA 47:4 CHORUS OF ISRAELITES.
"The Almighty LORD redeems us,—
Let Israel bless HIS NAME."
RF ISA 47:5 Sit silent, and walk in the dark, you, the girl of the Kasdim;
For no more they will call you. the Princess of Kingdoms.
RF ISA 47:6 I was vexed with My People,—and I punished my country,—
I gave them into your hand, but you have not shown them mercy.
RF ISA 47:7 You laid heavy yokes on the old—and said "I am Princess for ever."
So you laid not those things to your heart, nor remembered the future.
RF ISA 47:8 But, hear this now, you Lady, who sit at your ease,
Who say to your heart, "I exist, and none else with me;
I shall not be a widow, or know of bereavement,"
RF ISA 47:9 But both shall arrive at a stroke,—and in a. single day,—
Bereavement and ruin come on you, a widow,
In spite of your craft, and great strength of Allies;
RF ISA 47:10 For you trusted in sin, saying, "No one will see me."
Your Science and Learning, themselves will overthrow you,—
Though you said in your heart, "I shall last, if none else!"
RF ISA 47:11 So loss will come on you, whose dawning you know not,
And calamity fall which you cannot avoid,
And unknown desolation rush suddenly on you.
RF ISA 47:12 Now trust to your mates, and your many enchanters,
With whom you have worked from the days of your youth!
You fool! can they help you? You fool! can they strengthen?
RF ISA 47:13 Your advisers exhaust! Let them stand up and save you!
Your sky-mappers, star-gazers, who teach by the Moon!
To what have they all brought you?
RF ISA 47:14 Only look! They are chaff which the fire burns up!
From the hand of destruction they snatch not their lives
No coal to warm them, or a lantern to sit by, is left.
RF ISA 47:15 Such to you are the friends you have worked with from youth;
Each will turn to his business,—and none of them help you!
