created and made; I brought him and gave success to his way.<br />

12 Hear me, you who have destroyed the heart, who are far from righteousness. 13 I<br />

brought near my righteousness, and I will not be slow with the salvation which is from<br />

me. I have given salvation in Zion to Israel, resulting in glorification.<br />

Isaiah 47<br />

1 Come down, sit on the ground, O virgin daughter of Babylon; enter the darkness, A<br />

O daughter of the Chaldeans, for you will no longer continue to be called tender and<br />

delicate. 2 Take a millstone, grind meal, remove your veil, uncover the gray hair, bare<br />

the legs, pass through rivers. 3 Your shame will be uncovered, your reproaches will be<br />

brought to light. I will take from you what is righteous; I will no longer deliver you up to<br />

men." 4 The one who delivered you (the Lord of sabaóth is his name, the Holy One of<br />

Israel) said, 5 "Sit stunned; enter the darkness, O daughter of the Chaldeans. You will no<br />

longer be called the strength of the kingdom. 6 I was provoked over my people; you<br />

defiled my inheritance. I gave into your hand, but you did not give them mercy; you<br />

made the yoke of the elder exceedingly heavy. 7 You said, `I will be a woman who rules<br />

forever.´ You did not ponder these things in your heart or remember the last things.<br />

8 Now hear these things, O delicate one who sits confidently, who says in her heart, `I<br />

am, and there is no other; I will not sit as a widow or know orphanhood.´ 9 Now these<br />

two things will arrive upon you suddenly in one day; widowhood and childlessness will<br />

arrive suddenly upon you in connection with your sorcery, exceedingly in connection<br />

with the strength of your enchantments, 10 in the hope of your evil. For you said, `I am,<br />

and there is no other.´ Know that the understanding of these things and your<br />

prostitution will be shame for you; you said in your heart, `I am, and there is no<br />

other.´ 11 Destruction will arrive upon you, and you will not know; there will be a pit,<br />

and you will fall into it. Distress will arrive upon you, and you will not be able to become<br />

clean; destruction will arrive suddenly upon you, and you will not know. 12 Now stand in<br />

your enchantments and your abundant sorcery, which things you learned from your<br />

youth, if you are able to be benefited. 13 You have labored in your counsels. Let the<br />

astrologers of the heaven stand and save you; let those who see the stars tell you what<br />

is about to come upon you. 14 Behold, they all will be burned up like sticks over a fire,<br />

and they will not rescue their souls from the flame. Because you have coals of fire, sit<br />

on them; 15 these will be a help to you! You have labored in your transition from youth.<br />

Each man wandered by himself; there will be no salvation for you."<br />

Isaiah 48<br />

1 Hear these things, O house of Jacob, the ones who have been called by the name<br />

of Israel and the ones who came out of Judah, the ones who swear by the name of the<br />

Lord God of Israel, mentioning it, but not with truth or with righteousness, 2 laying claim<br />

to the name of the holy city and leaning on the God of Israel (the Lord of sabaóth is his<br />

name). 3 I already reported the former things; they came out of my mouth and became<br />
