Isaiah 47:5-7

New International Version - UK

⁵ ‘Sit in silence, go into darkness,
    queen city of the Babylonians;
no more will you be called
    queen of kingdoms.
⁶ I was angry with my people
    and desecrated my inheritance;
I gave them into your hand,
    and you showed them no mercy.
Even on the aged
    you laid a very heavy yoke.
⁷ You said, “I am for ever –
    the eternal queen!”
But you did not consider these things
    or reflect on what might happen.
