Bible verse
You said, ‘I will be queen forever.’ You did not take these things to heart or consider their outcome.
Isaiah 47:7 · BSB
The verses around it, from Isaiah 47.
3 Your nakedness will be uncovered and your shame will be exposed. I will take vengeance; I will spare no one.”
4 Our Redeemer—the LORD of Hosts is His name—is the Holy One of Israel.
5 “Sit in silence and go into darkness, O Daughter of Chaldea. For you will no longer be called the queen of kingdoms.
6 I was angry with My people; I profaned My heritage, and I placed them under your control. You showed them no mercy; even on the elderly you laid a most heavy yoke.
7 You said, ‘I will be queen forever.’ You did not take these things to heart or consider their outcome.
8 So now hear this, O lover of luxury who sits securely, who says to herself, ‘I am, and there is none besides me. I will never be a widow or know the loss of children.’
9 These two things will overtake you in a moment, in a single day: loss of children, and widowhood. They will come upon you in full measure, in spite of your many sorceries and the potency of your spells.
10 You were secure in your wickedness; you said, ‘No one sees me.’ Your wisdom and knowledge led you astray; you told yourself, ‘I am, and there is none besides me.’
11 But disaster will come upon you; you will not know how to charm it away. A calamity will befall you that you will be unable to ward off. Devastation will happen to you suddenly and unexpectedly.
