Isaiah 47:6-8

Christian Standard Bible Anglicised

⁶I was angry with my people;
I profaned my possession,
and I handed them over to you.
You showed them no mercy;
you made your yoke very heavy on the elderly.
⁷You said, “I will be the queen for ever.”
You did not take these things to heart
or think about their outcome.

⁸‘So now hear this, lover of luxury,
who sits securely,^(A)
who says to herself,
“I am, and there is no one else.
I will never be a widow
or know the loss of children.”^(B)
