Isaiah 47:6-8

Complete Jewish Bible

⁶ I was angry with my people,
I desecrated my own possession
and gave them over to you.
But you showed them no mercy;
you made your yoke very heavy,
even upon the aged.
⁷ You said, ‘I will be mistress forever.’
so you didn’t consider these things
or think about the consequences.
⁸ Now hear this, you lover of luxuries,
lolling at ease and saying to yourself,
‘I am important, and no one else!
I will never be a widow
or know the loss of children.’
