Isaiah 47:5-10
English Standard Version
5 (A)Sit in silence, and go into darkness,
O daughter of (B)the Chaldeans;
for you shall no more be called
(C)the mistress of kingdoms.
6 (D)I was angry with my people;
I profaned my heritage;
I gave them into your hand;
(E)you showed them no mercy;
on the aged you made your yoke exceedingly heavy.
7 You said, “I shall be (F)mistress forever,”
so that you did not lay these things to heart
or remember their end.
8 Now therefore hear this, (G)you lover of pleasures,
(H)who sit securely,
who say in your heart,
(I)“I am, and there is no one besides me;
(J)I shall not sit as a widow
or know the loss of children”:
9 (K)These two things shall come to you
in a moment, (L)in one day;
the loss of children and widowhood
shall come upon you in full measure,
(M)in spite of your many sorceries
and the great power of your enchantments.
10 You felt secure in your wickedness;
you said, “No one sees me”;
your wisdom and your knowledge led you astray,
and you said in your heart,
(N)“I am, and there is no one besides me.”
