Isa. 47:1 The virgin daughter of Babylon . . . tender and delicate is Babylon itself, portrayed as a self-indulgent girl now subjected to the harsh realities of judgment. Babylon came to symbolize world culture in contempt of God (see Revelation 18).
Isa. 47:2 God warns Babylon about the end of its luxurious selfishness and the beginning of slavery and exile.
Isa. 47:4 The only safety in a world under judgment is the Lord himself, who acts for the sake of his people.
Isa. 47:5–7 Sit in silence. Babylon is left with nothing to say. Though God used the Babylonians to discipline his own people, he still held Babylon accountable for their cruel abuses and arrogance (see 10:5–19).
Isa. 47:8 I am, and there is no one besides me. Pride is the cause of Babylon’s disrespect for God (see 41:4; 44:6; 45:5–6; 18; 21–22; 46:9). All nations, without exception, are accountable to God.
Isa. 47:11 The Hebrew word for “wickedness” (v. 10) is the same one used for “evil” in but evil shall come upon you. This is the measure-for-measure “vengeance” of v. 3.
