Isaiah 47:4-9 World English Bible (WEB)

4. Our Redeemer, Yahweh of Armies is his name, is the Holy One of Israel.

5. “Sit in silence, and go into darkness, daughter of the Chaldeans. For you shall no longer be called the mistress of kingdoms.

6. I was angry with my people. I profaned my inheritance, and gave them into your hand. You showed them no mercy. You laid a very heavy yoke on the aged.

7. You said, ‘I will be a princess forever;’ so that you did not lay these things to your heart, nor did you remember the results.

8. “Now therefore hear this, you who are given to pleasures, who sit securely, who say in your heart, ‘I am, and there is no one else besides me. I shall not sit as a widow, neither shall I know the loss of children.’

9. But these two things shall come to you in a moment in one day, the loss of children and widowhood. They will come on you in their full measure, in the multitude of your sorceries, and the great abundance of your enchantments.
