Isaiah 47:5-7

New Century Version

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 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
    as the queen.’
But you did not think about these things
    or consider what would happen.
