rsv Isaiah:47:4-10
rsv@Isaiah:47:4 @ Our Redeemer-- the LORD of hosts is his name-- is the Holy One of Israel.
rsv@Isaiah:47:5 @ Sit in silence, and go into darkness, O daughter of the Chalde'ans; for you shall no more be called the mistress of kingdoms.
rsv@Isaiah:47:6 @ I was angry with my people, I profaned my heritage; I gave them into your hand, you showed them no mercy; on the aged you made your yoke exceedingly heavy.
rsv@Isaiah:47:7 @ You said, "I shall be mistress for ever," so that you did not lay these things to heart or remember their end.
rsv@Isaiah:47:8 @ Now therefore hear this, you lover of pleasures, who sit securely, who say in your heart, "I am, and there is no one besides me; I shall not sit as a widow or know the loss of children":
rsv@Isaiah:47:9 @ These two things shall come to you in a moment, in one day; the loss of children and widowhood shall come upon you in full measure, in spite of your many sorceries and the great power of your enchantments.
rsv@Isaiah:47:10 @ You felt secure in your wickedness, you said, "No one sees me"; your wisdom and your knowledge led you astray, and you said in your heart, "I am, and there is no one besides me."
