5"Sit in silence and go into darkness, O Daughter of Chaldea. For you will no longer be called the queen of kingdoms.
“Sit thou silent and get thee into darkness oh daughter of the Chaldeans. For thou shalt no more be called the lady of kingdoms.”

6I 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.
“I was angry with my people. I have profaned my inheritance and given them into your hand. You showed them no mercy on the elderly. You laid your yoke very heavily”
7You said, 'I will be queen forever.' You did not take these things to heart or consider their outcome.
“You said, I will be mistress forever. So that you did not lay these things to hush or remember their end.”
8So 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.'
“Now, therefore, hear this, you lover of pleasures, this is Babylon, who sits securely, who say in your heart, I am and there is no one beside me. I shall not sit as a widow or know the loss of children.”
“Therefore, hear now this. Thou that art given to pleasures that dwellest carelessly, that sayest in thine heart, I am, and none else beside thee, I shall not sit as a widow, neither shall I know the loss of children.”
“Therefore hear now this, thou that are given to pleasures, that dwell carelessly, that say in your heart, I am and none else beside me. I shall not sit as a widow, neither shall I know the loss of children.”

9These 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.
“these two things shall come to thee in a moment in one day. The loss of children and widowhood. They shall come upon thee in their perfection for the multitude of your sorceries and for the great abundance of thine enchantments.”

10You 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.'
“You felt secure in your wickedness. You said, no one sees me. Your wisdom and your knowledge led you astray. And you said in your heart, I am and there is no one beside me.”
“thou hast trusted in thy wickedness, thou hast said, none seeth me. Thy wisdom and thy knowledge, it hath perverted thee, and thou hast said in thine heart, I am, and none else beside me.”
“For thou hast trusted in your wickedness. Thou hast said, none seeth me. Thy wisdom and thy knowledge, it hath perverted you. And thou hast said in thine heart, I am and none else beside me.”
11But 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.
“Therefore shall evil come upon thee. Thou shalt not know from whence it ariseth, and mischief shall fall upon thee. Thou shalt not be able to put it off, and desolation shall come upon thee suddenly, which thou shalt not know.”

12So take your stand with your spells and with your many sorceries, with which you have wearied yourself from your youth. Perhaps you will succeed; perhaps you will inspire terror!
“Stand now with thine enchantments and with the multitude of thy sorceries. Wherein thou hast labored from thy youth. If so be thou shall be able to profit. If so be thou mayest prevail.”
“Stand now with thine enchantments, and with the multitude of thy sorceries, in which thou hast labored from thy youth, if so be thou shalt be able to profit, if so be that thou mayest prevail.”

13You are wearied by your many counselors; let them come forward now and save you— your astrologers who observe the stars, who monthly predict your fate.
“Thou art wearied in the multitude of thy counsels, let now the astrologers, the stargazers, the monthly prognosticators, stand up and save thee from these things that shall come upon thee.”
“Thou art wearied in the multitude of thy counsels. Let now the astrologers, the stargazers, the monthly prognosticators, stand up and save thee from these things that shall come upon thee.”

14Surely they are like stubble; the fire will burn them up. They cannot deliver themselves from the power of the flame. There will be no coals to warm them or fire to sit beside.
“Behold, they shall be as stubble. The fire shall burn them. They will not deliver themselves from the power of the flame. There shall not be a coal to warm at, nor fire to sit before it.”
“Behold, they shall be a stubble. The fire shall burn them. They shall not deliver themselves from the power of the flame. There shall not be a coal to warm at, nor fire to sit before it.”

15This is what they are to you— those with whom you have labored and traded from youth— each one strays in his own direction; not one of them can save you.
