Isaiah 47:5-7

5“O beautiful Babylon, sit now in darkness and silence. Never again will you be known as the queen of kingdoms.

6For I was angry with my chosen people and punished them by letting them fall into your hands. But you, Babylon, showed them no mercy. You oppressed even the elderly.

7You said, ‘I will reign forever as queen of the world!’ You did not reflect on your actions or think about their consequences.
