4 our redeemer,Whose name is the Lord of hosts,the Holy One of Israel.
5 Go into darkness and sit in silence,daughter of the Chaldeans,No longer shall you be calledsovereign mistress of kingdoms.
6 Angry at my people,I profaned my heritageAnd gave them into your power;but you showed them no mercy;Upon the agedyou laid a very heavy yoke.
7 You said, “I shall remain always,a sovereign mistress forever!”You did not take these things to heart,but disregarded their outcome.
8 Now hear this, voluptuous one,enthroned securely,Saying in your heart,“I, and no one else!I shall never be a widow,bereft of my children”—
9 Both these things shall come to yousuddenly, in a single day:Complete bereavement and widowhoodshall come upon youDespite your many sorceriesand the full power of your spells;
10 Secure in your wickedness,you said, “No one sees me.”Your wisdom and your knowledgeled you astray,And you said in your heart,“I, and no one else!”
