Isaiah 47:7-9

New Living Translation

⁷ You said, ‘I will reign forever as queen of the world!’
    You did not reflect on your actions
    or think about their consequences.

⁸ “Listen to this, you pleasure-loving kingdom,
    living at ease and feeling secure.
You say, ‘I am the only one, and there is no other.
    I will never be a widow or lose my children.’
⁹ Well, both these things will come upon you in a moment:
    widowhood and the loss of your children.
Yes, these calamities will come upon you,
    despite all your witchcraft and magic.
