Old Testament

New Testament

Isaiah 47:6-10 Common English Bible (CEB)

6. I was enraged with my people;I made my inheritance impureand put them under your power.You took no pity on them.You made your yoke heavy even on the elderly.

7. You said, "I’m forever; I’m the eternal mistress."You didn’t stop and think;you didn’t consider the outcome.

8. So listen to this,luxuriant one who sits secure,who says in her heart,I’m utterly unique;I’ll never sit as a widow;I’ll never know childlessness:

9. Both of these will happen to you at once, on a single day:childlessness and widowhoodwill envelop you in full measure,despite your many sorceries,despite your very powerful spells.

10. You felt secure in your evil;you said, "No one sees me."Your wisdom and knowledge spun you around.You thought to yourself, I and no one else.
