Isaiah 47:5-7

Expanded Bible

⁵ “·Babylon [^LDaughter of the Chaldeans], sit in ·darkness and say nothing [^Lsilence and go into darkness].
    You will no longer be called the queen of kingdoms.
⁶ I was angry with my people,
    so I ·rejected [defiled; desecrated; profaned] ·those who belonged to me [my inheritance/possession].
I gave them ·to you [^Linto your hand],
    but you showed them no mercy.
You even ·made the old people
    work very hard [^Llaid a very heavy yoke on the aged].
⁷ You said, ‘I will ·live [reign; be] forever as the queen.’
But you did not think about these things
or consider ·what would happen [the outcome/end].
