Isaiah 47:4
2 Take millstones and grind flour; remove your veil; strip off your skirt, bare your thigh, and wade through the streams.
3 Your nakedness will be uncovered and your shame will be exposed. I will take vengeance; I will spare no one.”
Our Redeemer—the LORD of Hosts is His name— is the Holy One of Israel.
5 “Sit in silence and go into darkness, O Daughter of Chaldea. For you will no longer be called the queen of kingdoms.
6 I was angry with My people; I profaned My heritage, and I placed them under your control. You showed them no mercy; even on the elderly you laid a most heavy yoke.
This was said to Israel at a particular time, so it is wise to read it together with the surrounding text. Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
