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.
¡Baja y siéntate en el polvo, virgen hija de Babilonia! Siéntate en el suelo sin trono, hija de los caldeos, porque ya no te llamarán delicada y refinada.
Babilonia será humillada y perderá su posición de poder y prestigio.
📚 Contexto Histórico
Isaiah 47:1 is part of a prophetic message from the prophet Isaiah, delivered during a time when Babylon was rising as a powerful empire that conquered Judah and led to the exile of the Israelites. This verse uses poetic imagery to address Babylon as a "virgin daughter," symbolizing its self-perceived purity and dominance, but it foretells God's judgment and the empire's humiliating downfall. In the ancient Near Eastern culture, sitting in the dust represented mourning, defeat, and the loss of status, emphasizing the reversal of Babylon's pride.
