Isaiah 47:1
Come down, and sit in the dust, O virgin daughter of Babylon, sit on the ground: there is no throne, O daughter of the Chaldeans: for thou shalt no more be called tender and delicate.
KJV
Descende, sede in pulvere, virgo filia Babylon : sede in terra ; non est solium filiæ Chaldæorum, quia ultra non vocaberis mollis et tenera.
Vulgate
Κατάβηθι, κάθισον ἐπὶ γῆν, παρθένος θυγάτηρ Βαβυλῶνος· κάθισον εἰς τὴν γῆν, θυγάτηρ Χαλδαίων, ὅτι οὐκέτι προστεθήσῃ κληθῆναι ἁπαλὴ καὶ τρυφερά.
LXX
Come down, and sit in the dust, O virgin daughter of Babylon; sit on the ground without a throne, O daughter of the Chaldeans: for thou shalt no more be called tender and delicate.
