O daughter of the Chaldeans;
bFor you shall no longer be called
The Lady of Kingdoms.
O daughter of the Chaldeans;
bFor you shall no longer be called
The Lady of Kingdoms.
6 aI was angry with My people;
bI have profaned My inheritance,
And given them into your hand.
You showed them no mercy;
cOn the elderly you laid your yoke very heavily.

And given them into your hand.

So that you did not btake these things to heart,
cNor remember the latter end of them.

cNor remember the latter end of them.
8 “Therefore hear this now, you who are given to pleasures,
Who dwell securely,
Who say in your heart, ‘I am, and there is no one else besides me;
I shall not sit as a widow,
Nor shall I know the loss of children’;
Who dwell securely,
Who say in your heart, ‘I am, and there is no one else besides me;
I shall not sit as a widow,
Nor shall I know the loss of children’;
9 But these two things shall come to you
aIn a moment, in one day:
The loss of children, and widowhood.
They shall come upon you in their fullness
Because of the multitude of your sorceries,
For the great abundance of your enchantments.
