Isaiah 47:4-10

4The Holy One of Israel is our Redeemer; The Lord of Armies is his name.

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

6I was angry with my people; I profaned my possession, and I handed them over to you. You showed them no mercy; you made your yoke very heavy on the elderly.

7You said, ‘I will be the queen 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 am, and there is no one else. I will never be a widow or know the loss of children.’

9These 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.

10You were secure in your wickedness; you said, ‘No one sees me.’ Your wisdom and knowledge led you astray. You said to yourself, ‘I am, and there is no one else.’
