Isaiah 47:2 belongs to the prophecy of Babylon's humiliation and downfall. It marks the point when Babylon is brought down from its power to suffer the shame and hardship of a conquered people. It is the bringing low of the proud ruler who had oppressed others, when Babylon loses its power and status.
