Isaiah 47:5–10

5 “Sit in hsilence, and go into darkness,

O daughter of the Chaldeans;

iFor you shall no longer be called

The Lady of Kingdoms.

6 jI was angry with My people;

kI have profaned My inheritance,

And given them into your hand.

You showed them no mercy;

lOn the elderly you laid your yoke very heavily.

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

So that you did not ntake these things to heart,

oNor remember the latter end of them.

8 “Therefore hear this now, you who are given to pleasures,

Who dwell securely,

Who say in your heart, ‘I am, and there is no one else besides me;

I shall not sit as a widow,

Nor shall I know the loss of children’;

9 But these two things shall come to you

pIn a moment, in one day:

The loss of children, and widowhood.

They shall come upon you in their fullness

Because of the multitude of your sorceries,

For the great abundance of your enchantments.

10 “For you have trusted in your wickedness;

You have said, ‘No one qsees me’;

Your wisdom and your knowledge have 2warped you;

And you have said in your heart,

‘I am, and there is no one else besides me.’
