Commentaire sur Isaïe 47:1
רְדִ֣י ׀ וּשְׁבִ֣י עַל־עָפָ֗ר בְּתוּלַת֙ בַּת־בָּבֶ֔ל שְׁבִי־לָאָ֥רֶץ אֵין־כִּסֵּ֖א בַּת־כַּשְׂדִּ֑ים כִּ֣י לֹ֤א תוֹסִ֙יפִי֙ יִקְרְאוּ־לָ֔ךְ רַכָּ֖ה וַעֲנֻגָּֽה׃
Descends et assieds-toi dans la poussière, vierge, fille de Babel! Assieds-toi à terre, faute de trône, fille de Chaldée! Car désormais on ne t’appellera plus la délicate, la voluptueuse.
Rashi on Isaiah
without a throne Without a kingdom.

Ibn Ezra on Isaiah
Virgin. Babylon is like a virgin, that has not yet been deflowered.1That is, for a long period; but strictly speaking, Babylon had been conquered before by the Assyrians. See Niebuhr, Gesch. As. and B. p. 179.
