Isaiah 47:4-6

Easy-to-Read Version

⁴ “My people say, ‘God saves us.
    His name is the Lord All-Powerful, the Holy One of Israel.’”

⁵ “So Babylon, sit down and shut up.
    Daughter of the Chaldeans, go into the dark prison.
    You will no longer be ‘The Queen of the Kingdoms.’

⁶ “I was angry with my people.
    They were mine, but I turned against them.
I let you punish them,
    but you showed them no mercy.
Even for those who were old
    you made the work hard.
