Notice in Isaiah chapter 47. This is an

important passage. It says, “O virgin daughter

of Babylon” in verse 1, and verses 2 and 3 say,

“Take the millstones, and grind meal: uncover

thy locks, make bare the leg, uncover the thigh,

pass over the rivers. Thy nakedness shall be

uncovered, yea, thy shame shall be seen: I will

take vengeance, and I will not meet thee as a

man.” And then the latter part of verse 5 speaks

of “The lady of kingdoms”; in other words, she

is no longer a lady.

more than exposing the private parts. We find

as a woman who has exposed herself. A curse is

pronounced upon her because she bared her

legs and exposed her thighs. Now, notice three

things that are mentioned in verse 2: (1)
