Isaiah 47:5-7

New International Reader's Version

⁵ The Lord says, “Queen city of the Babylonians,
    go into a dark prison. Sit there quietly.
You will not be called
    the queen of kingdoms anymore.
⁶ I was angry with my people.
    I treated them as if they did not belong to me.
I handed them over to you.
    And you did not show them any pity.
You even placed heavy loads on their old people.
⁷     You said, ‘I am queen forever!’
But you did not think about what you were doing.
    You did not consider how things might turn out.
