Isaiah 47
The Fall of Babylon
1 Go down, sit in the dust, Virgin Daughter Babylon;
sit on the ground without a throne, queen city of the Babylonians. No more will you be called tender or delicate.
2 Take millstones and grind flour; take off your veil. Lift up your skirts, bare your legs, and wade through the streams.
3 Your nakedness will be exposed and your shame uncovered. I will take vengeance; I will spare no one. ...

15 That is all they are to you these you have dealt with and laboured with since childhood. All of them go on in their error; there is not one that can save you.
Ouch...
