5 Sit thou down pierced with woe, go into darkness, O daughter of the Chaldeans: thou shalt no more be called the strength of a kingdom. 6 I have been provoked with my people; thou hast defiled mine inheritance: I gave them into thy hand, but thou didst not extend mercy to them: thou madest the yoke of the aged man very heavy, 7 and saidst, I shall be a princess for ever: thou didst not perceive these things in thine heart, nor didst thou remember the latter end. 8 But now hear these words, thou luxurious one, who art the one that sits at ease , that is secure, that says in her heart, I am, and there is not another; I shall not sit a widow, neither shall I know bereavement. Isaiah 47:5-8, Brenton Septuagint Translation. Public domain.
