Isaiah 47:5-7

New Catholic Bible

⁵ Sit in silence and conceal yourself in darkness,
    O daughter of the Chaldeans.
For never again will you be called
    the mistress of kingdoms.
⁶ Because I was angry with my people
    I profaned my inheritance
    and gave them over into your power.
You showed them no mercy,
    and you laid a very heavy yoke on the aged.
⁷ You said, “I will be a queen forever.”
    Thus you did not reflect carefully on your actions
    or give any consideration to their outcome.
