Isaiah 47:5-7

New Revised Standard Version, Anglicised Catholic Edition

⁵ Sit in silence, and go into darkness,
    daughter Chaldea!
For you shall no more be called
    the mistress of kingdoms.
⁶ I was angry with my people,
    I profaned my heritage;
I gave them into your hand,
    you showed them no mercy;
on the aged you made your yoke
    exceedingly heavy.
⁷ You said, ‘I shall be mistress for ever’,
    so that you did not lay these things to heart
    or remember their end.
