Isaiah:47:4-10
Seeker Overlay ON
*
As for our redeemer ,
the 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 shalt no more be called ,
The lady of kingdoms .
*
I was wroth with my people ,
I have polluted mine inheritance ,
and given them into thine hand :
thou didst shew them no mercy ;
upon the ancient hast thou very heavily laid thy yoke .
*
And thou saidst ,
I shall be a lady for ever :
so that thou didst not lay these things to thy heart ,
neither didst remember the latter end of it .
*
Therefore hear now this ,
thou that art given to pleasures ,
that dwellest carelessly ,
that sayest in thine heart ,
I am ,
and none else beside me ;
I shall not sit as a widow ,
neither shall I know the loss of children :
*
But these two things shall come to thee in a moment in one day ,
the loss of children ,
and widowhood :
they shall come upon thee in their perfection for the multitude of thy sorceries ,
and for the great abundance of thine enchantments .
*
For thou hast trusted in thy wickedness :
thou hast said ,
None seeth me .
Thy wisdom and thy knowledge ,
it hath perverted thee ;
and thou hast said in thine heart ,
I am ,
and none else beside me .
