Isaiah 47:2-4
Contemporary English Version

2 Start grinding grain!
    Take off your veil.
Strip off your fancy clothes
    and wade across rivers.[a]
3 You will suffer the shame
    of going naked,
because I will take revenge,
    and no one can escape.[b]
4 I am the Lord All-Powerful,
the holy God of Israel.
    I am their Savior.
