“Sit in (A)silence, and go into darkness,
O daughter of the Chaldeans;
(B)For you shall no longer be called
The Lady of Kingdoms.
(C)I was angry with My people;
(D)I have profaned My inheritance,
And given them into your hand.
You showed them no mercy;
(E)On the elderly you laid your yoke very heavily.
And you said, ‘I shall be (F)a lady forever,’
So that you did not (G)take these things to heart,
(H)Nor remember the latter end of them.

You said, “I shall be (F)mistress forever,”
    so that you did not lay these things to heart
    or remember their end.
