LINK: Isaiah 47
BACKGROUND
This chapter tells of the fall of Babylon to Persia, which is an event 150 years in the future from Isaiah's time. God has told the people of Judah that they will go into captivity. Here and in the next chapter, He tells them of their release from captivity. They would have no reason to doubt that God was in control of all that would happen to them! He predicted it all.
God chose to use Babylon to discipline His people, so why will God punish Babylon for doing His will? Babylon was cruel and arrogant. God reminds Babylon that God is God, and they will suffer the consequences of mistreating God's people. They were arrogant and thought they were indestructible, but they would suffer destruction from God.
