4 As for our Redeemer, the Lord of Hosts is His name,the Holy One of Israel.
5 Sit silently, and go into darkness,O daughter of the Chaldeans;for you shall no more be calledthe queen of kingdoms.
6 I was angry with My people;I have polluted My inheritanceand given them into your hand.You did not show them mercy;on the agedyou have laid your yoke very heavily.
7 You said, “I shall be a queen forever,”but you did not take these things to heart,nor remember the outcome of them.
8 Therefore, now hear this, you who are given to pleasures,who dwell carelessly,who say in your heart,“I am, and there is no one besides me;I shall not sit as a widow,nor shall I know the loss of children”;
9 but these two things shall come to youin a moment, in one day,the loss of children and widowhood.They shall come upon you in their fullnessbecause of the multitude of your sorceriesand for the great abundance of your enchantments.
10 For you have trusted in your wickedness;you have said, “No one sees me”;your wisdom and your knowledge have perverted you;and you have said in your heart,“I am, and there is no one besides me.”
