Isaiah 47:5-7

International Children’s Bible

⁵ “Babylon, sit in darkness and say nothing.
    You will no longer be called the queen of kingdoms.
⁶ I was angry with my people.
    So I rejected those people who belonged to me.
I gave them to you,
    but you showed them no mercy.
You even made the old people
    work very hard.
⁷ You said, ‘I will live forever.
    I will always be the queen.’
You did not think about these things.
    You did not think about what would happen.
