Virgin daughter of Babylon shall descend from her throne to sit in the dust, grinding flour and crossing rivers in shame. No more will she be called tender and delicate; nakedness and shame will be uncovered. Despite her enchantments and sorceries, disaster will fall suddenly; all her astrologers cannot save her from the fire.

The Longest Prophetic Book
Isaiah contains 66 chapters, making it the longest of the prophetic books. Often called 'the fifth Gospel,' it includes more messianic prophecies than any other Old Testament book, vividly describing Christ's suffering in chapter 53 some 700 years before His birth.
