7 You said, ‘I am forever—

the eternal queen!’

But you did not consider these things

or reflect on what might happen.

7 And thou saidst, I shall be a lady for ever:

So that thou didst not lay these things to thy heart,

Neither didst remember the latter end of it.

7 You said, ‘I will reign forever as queen of the world!’

You did not reflect on your actions

or think about their consequences.

7 And you said, ‘I shall be a lady forever,’

So that you did not take these things to heart,

Nor remember the latter end of them.

7 You said, ‘I will live forever

as the queen.’

But you did not think about these things

or consider what would happen.

7 And thou saidst, I shall be mistress for ever; so that thou didst not lay these things to thy heart, neither didst remember the latter end thereof.

7 and thou saidst, I shall be a mistress for ever; so that thou didst not take these things to heart, thou didst not remember the end thereof.

7 You said, “I will always be a queen.” 

You didn’t carefully consider these things 

or keep in mind how they would end. 

7 You said, ‘I will be the mistress forever.’

You did not take these things to heart

or think about their outcome.

7 You said, “I shall be mistress forever,”

so that you did not lay these things to heart

or remember their end.

7 And you said, “I shall be an eternal mistress forever!”

You did not set these things upon your heart;

you did not remember its end.

7 You said, ‘I will continue to be queen forever!’

But you did not think about what you were doing.

You did not consider how things might turn out.

7 “Yet you said, ‘I will be a queen forever.’

These things you did not consider

Nor remember the outcome of them.
