Isaiah 47:7-9

Easy-to-Read Version

⁷ You said, ‘I will live forever.
    I will always be the queen.’
You didn’t care what you did to my people.
    You didn’t think about what might happen later.
⁸ So now listen, you who love only pleasure!
    Feeling so safe, you tell yourself,
‘I alone am important, and no one else matters.
    I will never be a widow or lose my children.’
⁹ These two things will happen to you:
    First, you will lose your children and then your husband.
    And none of your magic spells will help you.
