What does Isaiah 47:1 mean?

Come down and sit in the dust, virgin daughter of Babylon. Sit on the ground without a throne, daughter of the Babylonians. You'll never be called delicate or pampered again. Isaiah 47:1 - Modern Text Bible

(Babylon, once proud and comfortable, will be humbled and lose its royal status.)
