Isaiah 47:5-7

GOD’S WORD Translation

⁵ Go into the dark, and sit in silence,
princess of the Babylonians!
You will no longer be called the queen of kingdoms.
⁶ I was angry with my people.
I dishonored those who belong to me.
I put them under your control.
You showed them no mercy.
You placed a heavy burden on old people.
⁷ You said, “I will always be a queen.”
You didn’t carefully consider these things
or keep in mind how they would end.
