O daughter of the Chaldeans;
bFor you shall no longer be called
The Lady of Kingdoms.
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.
So that you did not btake these things to heart,
cNor remember the latter end of them.
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’;
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.
You have said, ‘No one asees me’;
Your wisdom and your knowledge have1 warped you;
And you have said in your heart,
‘I am, and there is no one else besides me.’
You shall not know from where it arises.
And trouble shall fall upon you;
You will not be able1 to put it off.
And adesolation shall come upon you bsuddenly,
Which you shall not know.
| << Isaiah 47:5 | Isaiah 47:7 >> |
