5 “Sit in silence and go into darkness, O daughter of the Chaldeans! For you no longer will be called Queen of Kingdoms. 6 I was angry with My people; I have profaned My heritage and I have given them into your hand. You did not appoint for them acts of mercy; upon the elderly you made your yoke very heavy. 7 And you said, ‘Forever will I be, queen!’ For you did not set these things upon your heart, and you did not consider its end. 8 And now, hear this, O luxurious one, dwelling in security, the one saying in her heart, ‘It is I and no one else! I will not sit as a widow, and I will not know bereavement.’ 9 And these two things will come to you in a moment, in a single day: Bereavement and widowhood. In full measure they will come upon you in the multitude of your sorceries, in the great abundance of you spells. Isaiah 47:5-9, Berean Literal Bible. Public domain.
