Isaiah 47:5-7
Contemporary English Version
5 Babylon, be silent!
Sit in the dark.
No longer will nations
accept you as their queen.
6 I was angry with my people.
So I let you take their land
and bring disgrace on them.
You showed them no mercy,
but were especially cruel
to those who were old.
7 You thought that you
would be queen forever.
You didn't care what you did;
it never entered your mind
that you might get caught.
Isaiah 47:5-7
New International Version
5 “Sit in silence,(A) go into darkness,(B)
queen city of the Babylonians;(C)
no more will you be called
queen(D) of kingdoms.(E)
6 I was angry(F) with my people
and desecrated my inheritance;(G)
I gave them into your hand,(H)
and you showed them no mercy.(I)
Even on the aged
you laid a very heavy yoke.
7 You said, ‘I am forever(J)—
the eternal queen!’(K)
But you did not consider these things
or reflect(L) on what might happen.(M)
