47:1–48:22 Two conclusions can be drawn from the preceding evidence that the Lord alone is God: (1) Babylon’s great pride is foolishness (47:1-15); (2) Israel needs to pay attention to the word of the Lord (48:1-22). 47:1-4 In this taunt against Babylon, the queen of nations is humiliated, forced to work as a servant girl. 47:1 To sit in the dust was a way of expressing humiliation.
