Isaiah 47:5-7

Good News Translation

“Sit in silence and darkness;
    no more will they call you the queen of nations!
⁶ I was angry with my people;
    I treated them as no longer mine:
I put them in your power,
    and you showed them no mercy;
    even the aged you treated harshly.
⁷ You thought you would always be a queen,
    and did not take these things to heart
    or think how it all would end.
