Sit thou silent, and get thee into darkness, O daughter of the Chaldeans: for thou shalt no more be called, The lady of kingdoms.

The verse 5 is found in chapter 47 of Isaiah. Babylon appears as a woman who believed herself to be a permanent queen, but she will be humbled. Her confidence in wisdom, sorcery, commerce, and political power cannot prevent judgment. Her fall demonstrates that a civilization that interprets prosperity as invulnerability eventually faces the reality of its own fragility.

Setze dich in das Stille, gehe in die Finsternis, du Tochter der Chaldäer; denn du sollst nicht mehr heißen "Herrin über Königreiche".
Siéntate, calla, y entra en tinieblas, hija de los Caldeos: porque nunca más te llamarán señora de reinos.
Assieds-toi en silence, et va dans les ténèbres, Fille des Chaldéens! On ne t'appellera plus la souveraine des royaumes.
Siedi tacita, ed entra nelle tenebre, figliuola de’ Caldei; perciocchè tu non sarai più chiamata: La Signora de’ regni.
Assenta-te calada, e entra nas trevas, ó filha dos caldeus, porque nunca mais serás chamada senhora de reinos.
迦勒底 啊, 你要靜坐,進入黑暗中, 因你不再稱為萬國之后。
