Yeshayahu 46-47 - Matan Al HaPerek

Chapter 46 describes the destruction of the Babylonian idols following Koresh's conquest of Babylonia. Chapter 47 discusses the political downfall of Babylonia and includes a prophecy of destruction and scorn for "Maiden Babylonia." This prophecy foresees Babylonia's fall from an exalted height-the biggest empire in the world- to the lowest possible position.
