Isaiah 47:5-9 ▼

5 “ Daughter Chaldea, sit in silence and go into darkness. For you will no longer be called mistress of kingdoms.

6 I was angry with My people; I profaned My possession, and I placed them under your control. You showed them no mercy; you made your yoke very heavy on the elderly.

7 You said, ‘ I will be the mistress forever .’ You did not take these things to heart or think about their outcome.

8 “ So now hear this, lover of luxury, who sits securely , who says to herself ,‘ I exist, and there is no one else. I will never be a widow or know the loss of children.’

9 These two things will happen to you suddenly, in one day: loss of children and widowhood. They will happen to you in their entirety, in spite of your many sorceries and the potency of your spells.
