Isaiah 47:6-8

New King James Version

⁶^(A)I was angry with My people;
^(B)I have profaned My inheritance,
And given them into your hand.
You showed them no mercy;
^(C)On the elderly you laid your yoke very heavily.
⁷And you said, ‘I shall be ^(D)a lady forever,’
So that you did not ^(E)take these things to heart,
^(F)Nor remember the latter end of them.

⁸“Therefore hear this now, you who are given to pleasures,
Who dwell securely,
Who say in your heart, ‘I am, and there is no one else besides me;
I shall not sit as a widow,
Nor shall I know the loss of children’;

Isaiah 47:6-8

English Standard Version

⁶^(A)I was angry with my people;
    I profaned my heritage;
I gave them into your hand;
    ^(B)you showed them no mercy;
on the aged you made your yoke exceedingly heavy.
⁷You said, “I shall be ^(C)mistress forever,”
    so that you did not lay these things to heart
    or remember their end.

⁸Now therefore hear this, ^(D)you lover of pleasures,
    ^(E)who sit securely,
who say in your heart,
    ^(F)“I am, and there is no one besides me;
^(G)I shall not sit as a widow
    or know the loss of children”:

New American Standard Bible

⁶I was angry with My people,
I profaned My heritage
And handed them over to you.
You did not show mercy to them,
On the ^(A)aged you made your yoke very heavy.
⁷Yet you said, ‘I will be a ^(B)queen forever.’
These things you did not ^(C)consider
Nor remember the ^(D)outcome of ^[a]them.

⁸“Now, then, hear this, you ^(E)luxuriant one,
Who ^(F)lives securely,
Who says in her heart,
‘^(G)I am, and there is no one besides me.
I will ^(H)not sit as a widow,
Nor know the loss of children.’
