Charles Ellicott Commentary Isaiah 47:1

"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." — Isaiah 47:1 (ASV)

Come down ... — The virgin daughter of Babylon, i.e., Babylon itself, personified as until now unconquered, is called to leave her throne and sit in the dust as a menial slave. The epithets “tender” (better, perhaps, wanton) and “delicate” point to the luxury which had been identified with Babylon, and which was now to cease.
