Isaiah 47:6-8

Amplified Bible

⁶
“I was angry with My people,
I profaned [Judah] My inheritance
And gave them into your hand [Babylon].
You showed them no mercy;
You made your yoke very heavy on the aged.
⁷
“And you said, ‘I shall be a queen forevermore.’
You did not consider these things,
Nor did you [seriously] remember the [ultimate] outcome of such conduct.

⁸
“Now, then, hear this, you who live a luxuriant life,
You who dwell safely and securely,
Who say in your heart (mind),
‘I am [the queen], and there is no one besides me.
I shall not sit as a widow,
Nor know the loss of children.’

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’;

New International Version

⁶I was angry^(A) with my people
    and desecrated my inheritance;^(B)
I gave them into your hand,^(C)

Even on the aged
    you laid a very heavy yoke.

    the eternal queen!’^(F)
But you did not consider these things
    or reflect^(G) on what might happen.^(H)

    lounging in your security^(I)

    or suffer the loss of children.’

Isaiah 47:6-8

King James Version

⁶I was wroth with my people, I have polluted mine inheritance, and given them into thine hand: thou didst shew them no mercy; upon the ancient hast thou very heavily laid thy yoke.

⁷And thou saidst, I shall be a lady for ever: so that thou didst not lay these things to thy heart, neither didst remember the latter end of it.

⁸Therefore hear now this, thou that art given to pleasures, that dwellest carelessly, that sayest in thine heart, I am, and none else beside me; I shall not sit as a widow, neither shall I know the loss of children:
