Isaiah 47:6-8

New Catholic Bible

⁶ Because I was angry with my people
    I profaned my inheritance
    and gave them over into your power.
You showed them no mercy,
    and you laid a very heavy yoke on the aged.
⁷ You said, “I will be a queen forever.”
    Thus you did not reflect carefully on your actions
    or give any consideration to their outcome.
⁸ Now listen to this, you voluptuous woman,
    as you sit securely on your throne,
thinking to yourself,
    “I am the only one who matters.
I will never be a widow
    or experience the loss of children.”
