Babylon, often symbolized as a "virgin" due to its perceived invincibility and untouched status, is commanded to humble itself. The imagery of sitting in the dust indicates mourning and humiliation. Historically, Babylon was a dominant empire known for its grandeur and influence. The prophetic call to "sit in the dust" foreshadows its impending downfall, as seen in the eventual conquest by the Medes and Persians. This also connects to the broader biblical theme of God's judgment on prideful nations, as seen in <a href="/isaiah/13.htm">Isaiah 13</a> and <a href="/jeremiah/50.htm">Jeremiah 50-51</a>.<p><b>Sit on the ground without a throne, O Daughter of the Chaldeans!</b><br>The Chaldeans were a Semitic people who became the ruling class in Babylon. The command to "sit on the ground without a throne" emphasizes the loss of sovereignty and authority. Babylon's throne, a symbol of its power and rule, is removed, indicating a complete reversal of fortune. This reflects the biblical principle that God raises up and brings down rulers according to His will, as seen in <a href="/daniel/2-21.htm">Daniel 2:21</a>. The Chaldeans' expertise in astrology and divination, once a source of pride, would not save them from divine judgment.<p><b>For you will no longer be called tender or delicate.</b><br>Babylon was renowned for its luxury, wealth, and perceived invulnerability, often described in terms of beauty and delicacy. The loss of these attributes signifies a stripping away of its former glory and status. This transformation from "tender" and "delicate" to humiliated and desolate is a common motif in prophetic literature, illustrating the consequences of arrogance and idolatry. The phrase echoes the fate of other cities and nations that defied God, such as Tyre in <a href="/ezekiel/27.htm">Ezekiel 27-28</a>.

The speaker is either Jehovah (see ver. 3, <span class="accented">ad fin.</span>) or "a chorus of celestial beings" (Cheyne), bent on expressing their sympathy with Israel <span class="cmt_sub_title">Verse 1</span>. - <span class="cmt_word">Come down, and sit in the dust;</span> <span class="accented">i.e.</span> "descend to the lowest depth of humiliation" (comp. <a href="/isaiah/3-26.htm">Isaiah 3:26</a> and <a href="/job/2-8.htm">Job 2:8</a><span class="cmt_word">). O virgin daughter of Babylon</span>. The "virgin daughter of Babylon" is the Babylonian <span class="accented">people</span> as distinct from the city (comp. <a href="/isaiah/23-12.htm">Isaiah 23:12</a>). "Virgin" does not mean "unconquered;" for Babylon had been taken by the Assyrians some half-dozen times ('Ancient Monarchies,' vol. 2, pp. 58, 130, 149, 157, 164, 175, etc.). <span class="cmt_word">Sit on the ground</span>: there is no throne; rather, <span class="accented">sit on the ground throneless</span>, or <span class="accented">without a throne.</span> Hitherto the "virgin daughter" had sat, as it were, on a throne, ruling the nations. Now she must sit on the ground - there was no throne left for her. It is the fact that Babylon was never, after her capture by Cyrus, the capital. of a kingdom. Under the Achsemenian kings she was the residence of the court for a part of the year; but Susa was the capital. Under Alexander she was designated for his capital; but he died before his designs could be carried out. Under the Seleucidae she rapidly dwindled in consequence, until she became a ruin. <span class="cmt_word">Thou shalt no more be called tender and</span> <span class="cmt_word">delicate;</span> or, <span class="accented">delicate and luxurious</span> (Cheyne). Babylon had hitherto been one of the chief seats of Oriental luxury. She was "the glory of kingdoms, the beauty of the Chaldees' excellency" (<a href="/isaiah/13-19.htm">Isaiah 13:19</a>), "the golden city" (<a href="/isaiah/14-4.htm">Isaiah 14:4</a>). She was given to revelry and feasting, to mirth and drunkenness, to a shameless licensed debauchery (Herod., 1. 199; Baruch 6:43). All this would now be changed. Her population would have to perform the hard duties laid upon them by foreign masters. <span class="p"><br /><br /></span><span class="versiontext"><a href="/commentaries/isaiah/47-1.htm">Parallel Commentaries ...</a></span><span class="p"><br /><br /><br /></span><a name="lexicon" id="lexicon"></a><div class="vheading">Hebrew</div><span class="word">Go down</span><br /><span class="heb">&#1512;&#1456;&#1491;&#1460;&#1443;&#1497;
