Isaiah

Isaiah 47:7–8

⁷You said, ‘I will be queen forever.’

You did not take these things to heart

or consider their outcome.

⁸So now hear this,

O lover of luxury who sits securely,

who says to herself,

‘I am, and there is none besides me.

I will never be a widow

or know the loss of children.’
