6 I was angry with my people.So I let you take their landand bring disgrace on them.You showed them no mercy,but were especially cruelto those who were old.
7 You thought that youwould be queen forever.You didn't care what you did;it never entered your mindthat you might get caught.
8 You think that you aloneare all-powerful,that you won't be a widowor lose your children.All you care about is pleasure,but listen to what I say.
9 Your magic powers and charmswill suddenly fail,then you will be a widowand lose your children.
10 You hid behind evillike a shield and said,“No one can see me!”You were fooled by your wisdomand your knowledge;you felt sure that you alonewere in full control.
11 But without warning,disaster will strike—and your magic charmswon't help at all.
12 Keep using your magic powersand your charmsas you have always done.Maybe—just maybe—you will frighten somebody!
