Isaiah 47:7
Berean Standard Bible
You said, ‘I will be queen forever.’ You did not take these things to heart or consider their outcome.
Context
5“Sit in silence and go into darkness,
O Daughter of Chaldea.
For you will no longer be called
the queen of kingdoms. 6I was angry with My people;
I profaned My heritage,
and I placed them under your control.
You showed them no mercy;
even on the elderly you laid a most heavy yoke. 7You said, ‘I will be queen forever.’
You did not take these things to heart
or consider their outcome. 8So now hear this,
O lover of luxury who sits securely,
who says to herself,
‘I am, and there is none besides me.
I will never be a widow
or know the loss of children.’ 9These two things will overtake you in a moment,
in a single day:
loss of children, and widowhood.
They will come upon you in full measure,
in spite of your many sorceries
and the potency of your spells.
