Yesaya 47:6-7

47:6 I was angry at my people;

I defiled my special possession

and handed them over to you.

You showed them no mercy; ¹ 

you even placed a very heavy burden on old people. ² 

47:7 You said,

‘I will rule forever as permanent queen!’ ³ 

You did not think about these things; ⁴ 

you did not consider how it would turn out. ⁵
