Isaiah 47:5-7
The Voice
5 So you’d best go quietly, Babylon, daughter of the Chaldeans.
Slink off into the dark. No one will ever again call you Queen of All Lands.
6 Eternal One: Some time ago, I got fed up with My people.
I left My heritage to you, let you defeat them and take them away.
But you showed no mercy, abused and denigrated them;
you even made the elderly suffer beneath your heavy burden.
7 But You were carried away with your power,
thinking you would always be in charge.
You didn’t consider your limits or think about how all this would end.
Isaiah 47:5-7
New International Version
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)
