“Come down and sit in the dust, virgin daughter of Babylon. Sit on the ground without a throne, daughter of the Chaldeans. For you will no longer be called tender and delicate. See also: Psalms 137:8Jeremiah 51:33Zechariah 2:7Take the millstones and grind flour. Remove your veil, lift up your skirt, uncover your legs, and wade through the rivers. See also: Exodus 11:5Matthew 24:41Isaiah 20:4Your nakedness will be uncovered. Yes, your shame will be seen. I will take vengeance, and will spare no one.” See also: Nahum 3:5Jeremiah 51:20-24Jeremiah 50:27-28Our Redeemer, the LORD of Armies is his name, is the Holy One of Israel. See also: Isaiah 49:26Isaiah 44:6Isaiah 41:14“Sit in silence, and go into darkness, daughter of the Chaldeans. For you shall no longer be called the mistress of kingdoms. See also: Isaiah 47:7Revelation 18:16-19Habakkuk 2:20I was angry with my people. I profaned my inheritance and gave them into your hand. You showed them no mercy. You laid a very heavy yoke on the aged. See also: 2 Chronicles 28:9Zechariah 1:15Deuteronomy 28:50You said, ‘I will be a princess forever,’ so that you didn’t lay these things to your heart, nor did you remember the results. See also: Deuteronomy 32:29Isaiah 47:5Jeremiah 5:31“Now therefore hear this, you who are given to pleasures, who sit securely, who say in your heart, ‘I am, and there is no one else besides me. I won’t sit as a widow, neither will I know the loss of children.’ See also: Isaiah 32:9Zephaniah 2:15Isaiah 47:10But these two things will come to you in a moment in one day: the loss of children and widowhood. They will come on you in their full measure, in the multitude of your sorceries, and the great abundance of your enchantments. See also: 1 Thessalonians 5:3Psalms 73:19Nahum 3:4For you have trusted in your wickedness. You have said, ‘No one sees me.’ Your wisdom and your knowledge has perverted you. You have said in your heart, ‘I am, and there is no one else besides me.’ See also: Isaiah 5:21Romans 1:22Isaiah 29:15Therefore disaster will come on you. You won’t know when it dawns. Mischief will fall on you. You won’t be able to put it away. Desolation will come on you suddenly, which you don’t understand. See also: 1 Thessalonians 5:3Revelation 18:9-10Daniel 5:25-30“Stand now with your enchantments and with the multitude of your sorceries, in which you have labored from your youth, as if you might profit, as if you might prevail. See also: Acts 13:8-12Jeremiah 2:28Nahum 3:4You are wearied in the multitude of your counsels. Now let the astrologers, the stargazers, and the monthly prognosticators stand up and save you from the things that will happen to you. See also: Isaiah 44:25Ezekiel 24:12Isaiah 57:10Behold, they are like stubble. The fire will burn them. They won’t deliver themselves from the power of the flame. It won’t be a coal to warm at or a fire to sit by. See also: Malachi 4:1Nahum 1:10Isaiah 10:17The things that you labored in will be like this: those who have trafficked with you from your youth will each wander in his own way. There will be no one to save you. See also: Revelation 18:11-19Ezekiel 27:12-25Jeremiah 51:6-9

Notes · Haydock (1859, public domain)9 notes
Notes in English 19th-century Catholic commentary by Fr. George Leo Haydock, shown as published.
These notes keep the polemics of their time: some speak harshly of the Jewish people or of other Christians. The Church teaches otherwise today. The Jewish people may not be blamed for the death of Christ (Nostra Aetate 4; Catechism 597–598), and Christians of other communities are our brothers and sisters in the Lord (Unitatis Redintegratio 3).
