Revelation 18:7
English Standard Version
7 (A)As she glorified herself and lived in luxury,
so give her a like measure of torment and mourning,
since in her heart she says,
(B)‘I sit as a queen,
I am no widow,
and mourning I shall never see.’
Zephaniah 2:15
English Standard Version
15 This is the exultant city
(A)that lived securely,
that said in her heart,
“I am, and there is no one else.”
What a desolation she has become,
(B)a lair for wild beasts!
(C)Everyone who passes by her
hisses and (D)shakes his fist.
Isaiah 47:7-9
English Standard Version
7 You said, “I shall be (A)mistress forever,”
so that you did not lay these things to heart
or remember their end.
8 Now therefore hear this, (B)you lover of pleasures,
(C)who sit securely,
who say in your heart,
(D)“I am, and there is no one besides me;
(E)I shall not sit as a widow
or know the loss of children”:
9 (F)These two things shall come to you
in a moment, (G)in one day;
the loss of children and widowhood
shall come upon you in full measure,
(H)in spite of your many sorceries
and the great power of your enchantments.
Isaiah 47:1-2
English Standard Version
The Humiliation of Babylon
47 (A)Come down and sit in the dust,
O virgin (B)daughter of Babylon;
(C)sit on the ground without a throne,
O daughter of (D)the Chaldeans!
(E)For you shall no more be called
tender and delicate.
2 Take the millstones and (F)grind flour,
(G)put off your veil,
strip off your robe, uncover your legs,
pass through the rivers.
2 Thessalonians 2:4-8
English Standard Version
4 who opposes and exalts himself against every so-called god or object of worship, so that he takes his seat in the temple of God, (A)proclaiming himself to be God. 5 Do you not remember that when I was still with you I told you these things? 6 And you know what is restraining him now so that he may be revealed in his time. 7 For (B)the mystery of lawlessness (C)is already at work. Only he who now restrains it will do so until he is out of the way. 8 And then (D)the lawless one will be revealed, whom the Lord Jesus (E)will kill with (F)the breath of his mouth and bring to nothing by (G)the appearance of his coming.

Ezekiel 28:2-10
English Standard Version
2 (A)“Son of man, say to (B)the prince of Tyre, Thus says the Lord God:
(C)“Because your heart is proud,
and (D)you have said, ‘I am a god,
I sit in the seat of the gods,
in the heart of the seas,’
yet (E)you are but a man, and no god,
(F)though you make your heart like the heart of a god—
3 (G)you are indeed wiser (H)than (I)Daniel;
no secret is hidden from you;
4 by your wisdom and your understanding
(J)you have made wealth for yourself,
and have gathered gold and silver
into your treasuries;
5 by your great wisdom in your trade
you have increased your wealth,
and (K)your heart has become proud in your wealth—
6 therefore thus says the Lord God:
(L)Because you make your heart
like the heart of a god,
7 therefore, behold, I will bring (M)foreigners upon you,
the most ruthless of the nations;
and they shall draw their swords against (N)the beauty of your wisdom
and defile (O)your splendor.
8 (P)They shall thrust you down into the pit,
(Q)and you shall die the death of the slain
in the heart of the seas.
9 (R)Will you still say, ‘I am a god,’
in the presence of those who kill you,
though (S)you are but a man, and no god,
in the hands of those who slay you?
10 (T)You shall die the death of the uncircumcised
by the hand of foreigners;
(U)for I have spoken, declares the Lord God.”
Lamentations 1:1
English Standard Version
How Lonely Sits the City
1 (A)How lonely sits the city
that was full of people!

she who was great among the nations!
She who was (C)a princess among the provinces
has become (D)a slave.

called for weeping and mourning,

killing oxen and slaughtering sheep,
eating flesh and drinking wine.
(D)“Let us eat and drink,
for tomorrow we die.”
14 The Lord of hosts (E)has revealed himself in my ears:
“Surely (F)this iniquity will not be atoned for you (G)until you die,”
says the Lord God of hosts.
