Isaiah:47:4-10

*
Our Redeemer ,
LORD of hosts is his name ,
the Holy One of Israel .
*
Sit thou silent ,
and get thee into darkness ,
O daughter of the Chaldeans ,
for thou shall no more be called The mistress of kingdoms .
*
I was angry with my people .
I profaned my inheritance ,
and gave them into thy hand .
Thou showed them no mercy .
Upon the aged thou have laid thy yoke very heavily .
*
And thou said ,
I shall be mistress forever ,
so that thou did not lay these things to thy heart ,
nor remembered the latter end of it .
*
Now therefore hear this ,
thou who are given to pleasures ,
who sit securely ,
who say in thy heart ,
I am ,
and there is none else besides me .
I shall not sit as a widow ,
nor shall I know the loss of sons .
*
But these two things shall come to thee in a moment in one day :
the loss of sons ,
and widowhood .
In their full measure they shall come upon thee ,
in the multitude of thy sorceries ,
and the great abundance of thine enchantments .
*
For thou have trusted in thy wickedness .
Thou have said ,
None sees me .
Thy wisdom and thy knowledge ,
it has perverted thee .
And thou have said in thy heart ,
I am ,
and there is none else besides me .
