Isaiah 47:5-8 ▼

5 Sit silent and go into darkness, O daughter of the Chaldeans; for you shall no more be called, The mightiest of kingdoms.

6 I was angry with my people, for they have polluted my inheritance, so I delivered them into your hands; you showed them no mercy; upon the elders have you very heavily laid your yoke.

7 And you said, I shall be a mighty one for ever; so that you did not lay these things to your heart, neither did remember the end thereof.
